When we think about dental health, focus is likely to be on preventing cavities, caries and decayed teeth but it's important to pay attention to gums too. Gums play a major role not only in dental health, but in overall well-being of a person. Gingival disease begins with bacterial growth in the mouth and may end-if not properly treated-with tooth loss due to destruction of the surrounding tissue.

“…Resultados similares a los nuestros fueron reportados por Figuero y colaboradores en su revisión sistemá-tica que tuvo como objetivo obtener una estimación cuantitativa de la asociación entre el embarazo y la infl amación gingival, para lo cual analizaron 33 estudios longitudinales y transversales, de los cuales 14 se emplearon para determinar los niveles de placa dental, dichos autores no encontraron diferencia estadísticamente signifi cativa entre los índices de placa bacteriana en embarazadas y mujeres en post-parto (12). Por otro lado es bastante conocido el rol y la estrecha relación de la placa bacteriana en el inicio y progresión de la enfermedad periodontal, debido a esto, Tilakaratne y colaboradores afi rmaron que para el correcto estudio del rol del embarazo,en la progresión de la enfermedad periodontal, es necesario aislar los efectos de la placa sobre el periodonto, por lo que sugieren que la muestra estudiada presente niveles similares de placa bacteriana oral.…”

“…2,3 Some studies suggest a higher prevalence of caries rate among pregnant women compared to non-pregnant controls, and an increase in the decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) index throughout pregnancy, 4,5 but others found no increase in cariogenic activity during pregnancy. 6 On the other hand, oral pathology may also severely interfere with pregnancy outcome; in pregnant women periodontal disease represents a risk factor for preterm birth and low birth weight babies.…”

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE:Sialometric and sialochemical analyses during pregnancy are not consistent, and frequently contradictory in terms of salivary flow rate, pH, and concentration of calcium, phosphorous, sodium, potassium, chloride, glucose and α-amylase. We, therefore, measured the evolution of these parameters throughout pregnancy. METHOD: A cross-sectional study compared sialometric and sialochemical analyses of 30 pregnant women vs. 30 age-matched non-pregnant women, and a longitudinal study evaluated the pregnant women in the first and third trimester of pregnancy. RESULTS: Pregnant women presented acidic non-stimulated saliva, but neutral stimulated saliva pH, and no relevant changes in salivary flow rate. Scialochemical analysis showed decreased calcium levels, increased phosphate levels, and a progressive decrease in glucose levels throughout pregnancy. CONCLUSION: Pregnancy significantly changes the oral biochemical milieu, creating a favorable environment for the development of oral pathology, in particular, dental caries.

Effect of pregnancy on gingival inflammation in systemically healthy women: a systematic review

Abstract: Despite the limited number of studies included in the meta-analyses, the present systematic review confirms the existence of a significant increase in GI throughout pregnancy and between pregnant versus post-partum or non-pregnant women, without a concomitant increase in plaque levels.
