Pregnancy affects your body in lots of different ways, a growing bump being the most obvious. You might also anticipate your breasts will get bigger, or that your tastebuds will change – but did you know that pregnancy might also affect your teeth?
If you’re experiencing tooth sensitivity in pregnancy it should be reassuring to learn that it’s both explainable and treatable. There are various factors that can affect your dental wellbeing when carrying a baby, compounding the fact that women are more likely to experience tooth sensitivity, especially between the ages of 30 (the average age to give birth in the UK) and 40. Conditions such as gum disease and decay can also be a factor.
