“…Therefore, pregnant women with higher risk of dental disease are less likely to receive treatment. Pregnant women may also mistakenly believe that dental problems are a usual and unavoidable experience during pregnancy [27,28]. The popular notion that the fetus takes calcium from the teeth of the mother and that dental treatments can harm the fetus still widely exist, although there is no evidence supporting them [29,30].…”

Association between parity and dentition status among Japanese women: Japan public health center-based oral health study

et al. 2013

BackgroundSeveral studies have shown that parity is associated with oral health problems such as tooth loss and dental caries. In Japan, however, no studies have examined the association. The purpose of this study was to determine whether parity is related to dentition status, including the number of teeth present, dental caries and filled teeth, and the posterior occlusion, in a Japanese population by comparing women with men.MethodsA total of 1,211 subjects, who participated both in the Japan Public Health Center-Based (JPHC) Study Cohort I in 1990 and the dental survey in 2005, were used for the study. Information on parity or number of children was collected from a self-completed questionnaire administered in 1990 for the JPHC Study Cohort I, and health behaviors and clinical dentition status were obtained from the dental survey in 2005. The association between parity or number of children and dentition status was analyzed, by both unadjusted-for and adjusted-for socio-demographic and health behavioral factors, using a generalized linear regression model.ResultsParity is significantly related to the number of teeth present and n-FTUs (Functional Tooth Units of natural teeth), regardless of socio-demographic and health behavioral factors, in female subjects. The values of these variables had a significantly decreasing trend with the rise of parity: numbers of teeth present (p for trend = 0.046) and n-FTUs (p for trend = 0.026). No relationships between the number of children and dentition status were found in male subjects.ConclusionHigher-parity women are more likely to lose teeth, especially posterior occluding relations. These results suggest that measures to narrow the discrepancy by parity should be taken for promoting women’s oral health. Delivery of appropriate information and messages to pregnant women as well as enlightenment of oral health professionals about dental management of pregnant women may be an effective strategy.

“…Dentists, generally, are not willing to treat pregnant women and may postpone dental treatments until after childbirth. However it has been confirmed that providing dental treatments in pregnancy, including prophylaxis, restorations, extractions, and periodontal management is generally safe and effective [28,32]. …”

“…Lachat et al stated that oral health information can be given to women before or during the prenatal period at the first appointment and that pregnant women can be informed about the expected physiological changes in their mouth and can participate in the prevention and alleviation of these conditions (27). The authors also stated that preventive oral health information could be included in the birth class.…”

Comparison of knowledge, attitude and practice toward oral health between pediatricians and family doctors

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Aim: Pediatricians and family doctors are at the first step in the education of parents about oral health, as well as the prevention of oral diseases and the provision of oral health in children. The aim of this study is to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of pediatricians and family doctors about oral health in children. Methodology: A questionnaire consisting of 50 items was sent to pediatrician and family doctors via mail. Descriptive analysis and ttests were done to analyze the data. Participation in the survey, with a total of 240 participants (58 pediatricians, 182 family doctors), was 100%. Results: It was found that pediatricians believe that they have more important role in the development of oral health and prevention of oral diseases and they are more interested in participating in the oral health program than are the family doctors. Conclusions: Pediatricians and family doctors should work with dentists to improve the quality of oral hygiene in all young children.

“…A Doença Periodontal (DP) é uma afecção crônica, considerada a segunda patologia bucal na população mundial, na qual bactérias gramnegativas participam do seu processo de desenvolvimento 1,2 . Estes microrganismos anaeróbios colonizam a área subgengival causando aumento local e sistêmico das prostaglandinas e citocinas 3,4 . Assim, a DP pode ser agravada por diferentes fatores de risco, tais como o tabagismo, doenças sistêmicas e cardiovasculares, e especialmente condições sistêmicas como a gestação 5,6 .…”
