Good oral health during pregnancy can not only improve the quality of life of the pregnant mother, but also potentially reduce complications during pregnancy as well as the risk of her child developing early cavities. This presentation is an education tool for prenatal educators to share with pregnant women, women who have recently given birth, and women who are considering getting pregnant. Presentation objectives are: 1) to increase awareness among women of childbearing age of the importance of oral health during pregnancy, for the overall health of women and their children; and 2) to encourage women to include oral care as part of their routine prenatal care.
