Hello Alok Dubey
"Hormonal changes during pregnancy can result in several changes in the mouth,"
"Reports show that the most common oral disease is gingivitis, which has been reported in 30 to 100 percent of pregnancies."
Gingivitis, a buildup of plaque that causes inflammation of the gums, should be treated with a professional cleaning and proper toothbrushing and flossing. If left untreated, gingivitis can lead to periodontitis, a more serious form of gum disease. "Patients tend to delay the treatment of oral disease due to concerns for fetal safety; however, routine dental treatment can be performed safely at any time during pregnancy,"
untreated dental disease can lead to pain, infections and unnecessary exposure to medications, any of which could harm the developing fetus. Poor oral health also can affect the nutritional intake of expectant mothers, which is essential for fetal growth and survival.
The hormonal fluctuations that result from pregnancy can produce benign pregnancy tumors in the mouth. These tumors usually appear after the first trimester and typically go away after delivery; however, surgical removal may be required when these tumors bleed, interfere with eating or do not resolve after delivery.
In addition to examining for oral disease, dentists may notice dental erosion—the chemical or mechanochemical destruction of tooth material—in pregnant women, due to increased acid in the mouth following morning sickness.
"To neutralize acid after vomiting, pregnant women should rinse the mouth with a mixture of a teaspoon of baking soda dissolved in a cup of water,
"The teeth should be brushed only after the mouth has been rinsed and the acid has been neutralized to prevent further damage to the enamel."
Oral health assessment and treatment should be an essential part of prenatal care, as these steps allow the patient to receive ongoing advice concerning proper oral hygiene and infant oral health care.

Pregnancy makes oral tissues more fragile and with tendency to inflammation and bleeding. The gravid granuloma erroneously called pyogenic granuloma is one of the most frequent situations. Minor trauma can trigger important inflammatory reactions. It is important to emphasize the role of strict hygiene due to gingival swelling due to hormonal stimulation
Please consider the impact of Gestational Diabetes on oral conditions too.
