Are you in pregnancy now? What about the health of your gums? Did you know that gum problems can affect your baby’s health? A beautiful smile and white teeth are not a guarantee that people’s teeth and gums are in good health. People who diligently brushing teeth are not always having healthy gums and manicured. Usually they are more concerned to the dental than for the gums.

Lack of maintenance gums can cause plaque, and if not quickly treated can cause gingivitis. This disease can damage another teeth buffer network, characterized by swelling of the gums, the emergence of the gap between the teeth and gums. If the gums get down, can cause bacteria enter to the nest between tooth and gums. Not only that, the bones which form the basis would be susceptible to infection, so the tooth will easily be broken.

If gingivitis is not treated immediately, can lead to infection. If that is happened, the bacteria can enter the bloodstream and cause various diseases such as stroke, diabetes, heart disease, and cause the babies can be born prematurely or with a body weight less than the standard size.
