Pregnancy and oral health - everything you need to know

Pregnancy is a special time that requires special care for health - including oral health. Hormonal fluctuations can increase the risk of periodontal disease, gum sensitivity and tooth decay. Regular visits to the dentist help to maintain the health of the teeth and gums and avoid possible complications.

When is the best time to go to the dentist?

Before pregnancy - If you are planning a pregnancy, it is a good idea to check your oral health beforehand and treat any problems.
Second trimester (14.-26th week) - This is the safest time for dental treatment, when the risks associated with interventions are lowest.

What treatments can be performed during pregnancy?

Treatment of caries - Fillings are safe and recommended to avoid infection.
Sandblasting and scaling - Removing tartar and plaque helps to prevent gum disease.
Fluoridation - Strengthens enamel and prevents tooth decay.
Orthodontic treatment - You can continue to wear braces.

Treatments requiring caution

Root canal treatment - Only performed if necessary, preferably in the second trimester.
Extraction of a tooth - Possible in emergency situations, but best avoided in the first and third trimesters.

Treatment discouraged during pregnancy

Teeth whitening - Bleaching substances can be irritating and their effects on the foetus are not well studied.
Implants and prosthetic treatment - The process may require anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics.
Surgical treatment - Any surgical procedure carries risks for mum and baby (if not necessary).

Can anaesthesia be used during pregnancy?

Yes, modern anaesthetics are safe, but they must be selected according to the patient's condition. Anaesthetics without adrenaline are used in pregnancy, which do not affect blood pressure and are safe for the baby.

Why is oral health during pregnancy so important?

Poor oral hygiene can lead to:

Preterm birth
Low birth weight of the baby
Increased risk of pre-eclampsia
Development of gestational diabetes

Remember: By taking care of your oral health, you are also taking care of your child's health. If you have questions or concerns, consult your dentist.

How do you take care of your oral hygiene during pregnancy?

Tooth brushing - A minimum of twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
Choosing a toothbrush - Use a toothbrush of the right hardness to avoid irritating hypersensitive gums.
Diet - Avoid acidic and sugary snacks, which increase the risk of tooth decay.
Additional hygiene - Use dental floss and mouthwash to protect your gums.
Regular visits - Visit your dentist at least once per trimester to monitor your oral health.

Once again I would like to thank Dr Jaroslaw Wichlinski, a specialist in every way, he discusses the visit, dispels fears and at the same time makes me laugh. The only one I trust, but I am afraid of the dentist like a child The doctor does an excellent job of disenchanting it (procedure performed: tooth extraction)

Joanna Krakow

From the bottom of my heart, once again, this time here I would like to thank Dr Wichlinska, for giving me a beautiful smile. I would like to thank her for her commitment, full professionalism, wonderful approach to the patient and for fighting for every single detail, which made the final result surpass my wildest expectations.

Margaret Gorlice

I came here on the recommendation of friends who are already customers. I already know from experience that there is a very good, professional service here. Sometimes there are problems with free appointments, but the customer service and contact before the appointment helps to control this. It is important to make appointments in advance. The girls at reception make sure everything is taken care of. There is a car park next to the Ladybug to leave your car for the treatment.

Mariusz Krakow

I recommend the professional services of Mr and Mrs Wichlinski and the whole team. The implant "perfected" in every detail, professional approach, kindness, forbearance, accuracy, reliability and professional help I met there made me decide to permanently give my teeth to this team under such fantastic care.

Marzena Krakow

The best! Providing dental services at the highest world level. As for me, they are simply miracle workers and Dr Jaroslaw Wichlinski is an angel in a human body walking on this earth. I fell in love with this doctor at first sight. Commitment, empathy, professionalism, thoroughness, openness, tenderness, friendly and very rare approach to the patient.

Very professional service and top quality service. I warmly recommend this office. I had a hygienization and everything went as expected, the lady explains step by step what she is doing and advises subsequent oral hygiene at home. Everything went super smoothly, I recommend this place to everyone :)

Elisabeth Krakow

Three eights removed, one tooth root (I didn't even know when) , painless and professional. All with a caring approach to the patient. I heartily recommend.

Charles Krakow

I would recommend this place to anyone. Dr Bieszczad deserves the highest praise for his empathy and professionalism. He carried out a complicated dental procedure that saved my daughter's life. The owner of the clinic, Dr Wichlinski, was also interested in his daughter's case. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I wish Dr Bieszczad all the best.

Iwona Krakow

Although I am still in the process of meticulously planned treatment, I think I can already comment after a dozen visits. I highly, highly recommend this place. I have had my teeth treated by several specialist dentists and each of them has a super approach to the patient, is kind, empathetic and looks for good solutions for the patient, including financial ones. What is very important - the visits are really quite painless! The ladies at the reception desk are always nice, smiling and organised. This clinic is a sensational place on the dental map of Krakow.

Joanna Krakow

Dr Jaroslaw Wichlinski is the best specialist I have ever been to. This was my third removal of a retained eight - painless and the fastest. I was shocked how expressly the tooth was removed! And the doctor is extremely welcoming, supportive and exudes positivity. I would recommend to anyone traumatised by tooth extraction (as I was before) :) full professionalism! Thank you very much!

Catherine Krakow

I had a hygienization today with Mrs Klaudia Szczepankiewicz. If anyone has ever had any discomfort during this procedure, I RECOMMEND it! It was pure pleasure combined with full professionalism. Everything was explained from A to Z and then performed with full care and attention to patient comfort. BEST REGARDS, MRS. KLAUDIA! I will be back in six months :)
