Dentistry in Pregnancy and Infancy. From Dental Office to Home Care

      Аннотация: Pregnancy is a unique time in a woman’s life, accompanied by a variety of physiologic, anatomic and hormonal changes that can affect how oral health care is provided.Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including optimal oral health, is essential for women who are currently pregnant or who may become pregnant. The most critical periods of fetal development occur in the earliest weeks following conception, before many women even know they are pregnant. Pregnancy and early childhood are particularly important times to access oral health care because the consequences of poor oral health can have a lifelong impact.This book covers almost every aspect of oral health care necessary during pregnancy and in infancy.
