Abstract

A specific health issue that has been studied to possibly be influenced by oral health is pregnancies. Although the preventative strategies for reducing oral health problems are known and practiced, not many people, including pregnant women, adhere to this knowledge, and this is a large issue this article focuses on. Due to the effect of hormones released in pregnancy, Pregnant mother consume a larger intake of carbohydrates, which means it is very important and crucial for the women to take care of their oral health.
