Oral health during pregnancy: Enlightenment about myths and tips for expectant mothers

Every child costs the mother a tooth? Not really!

The day of dental health in 2024 would like to invalidate this myth and explain what they should know about oral health during pregnancy.

The day of dental health ranges a further focus on the oral health of newborns and toddlers.

parents are encouraged to optimally maintain your baby's first teeth. By carefully scanning the maxillofacial trunks, you can feel early where your teeth will show. With a baby toothbrush and a rice grain -sized amount of toothpaste, the first teeth get an optimal start.

The use of the early detection examinations in children's dental detection increases steadily, but there is still room for improvement in the 0 to 6 year olds.

The integration of early detection examinations into the child examination booklet can help to ensure that the supervisors do not forget the investigations.

Group prophylaxis in daycare centers plays an important role in promoting the oral health of small children.

The focus is on brushing your teeth in the foreground, through which children learn early on to pay attention to their oral health.

The Federal Association of Dentists from the Public Health Service (BZÖG) emphasizes the importance of low-threshold information and support offers for parents during and after pregnancy.

Structural improvements, early information and support can promote a good start to life and the equal opportunities of children from disadvantaged families.

The day of dental health takes place every year on September 25th.

The action group for the day of dental health, consisting of around 30 organizations from healthcare and politics, would like to promote oral health among the population and expand knowledge about dental and oral health.

on Twitter, Instagram and Tagderzahngesundheit.de we will inform you until September 25th about our focus on this year.
