Abstract
In order to determine the level of oral hygiene education during pregnancy, 700 questionnaires from 39 hospitals were evaluated. Of the tested persons, 51% had failed to have any dental examination during their pregnancy, although approximately 65% suffered from bleeding, swelling and inflammation of the gingiva. In total 71% received no information regarding oral hygiene during pregnancy. Oral hygiene education during pregnancy either is not provided or at best inadequately available.
