Maternal health
Help patients understand the importance of oral care during pregnancy
Oral care is an integral part of pregnancy treatment plans
Pregnancy increases risk of bleeding gums
Pregnant women often experience pregnancy gingivitis. This can permit bacteria to enter & spread throughout the body, which may lead to periodontitis, potentially increasing the risk of pregnancy complications & pre-term birth.1
What patients don’t know can matter greatly
Patients don't always realize oral health care should be an integral part of their perinatal treatment plans.
Philips Sonicare is here to help you help patients
Philips Sonicare is your partner in providing you with tools to help patients learn about the importance of oral health during pregnancy and solutions to maintain periodontal and gingival health at home.
