ASPECTS OF ORAL DISEASE PREVENTION DURING PREGNANCY

Abstract

Pregnancy is characterized by quantitative and structural changes in oral diseases, which, in turn, contribute to the general health of both the pregnant woman and the child, and mark the perfect formation of the skeletal system of the latter. It is important to note that there are still no specially developed programs for the prevention of oral diseases in Georgia. All this points to the need to develop effective programs for the prevention of major dental diseases based on the study of the causes of deterioration of the dental status of women during pregnancy. Thus, the expediency of planning and implementing preventive measures during pregnancy is not in doubt. An exogenous and endogenous dental disease prevention plan developed by us can be recommended during pregnancy, considering the general's and dental status of the woman, to improve both the dental health of the pregnant woman and the antenatal prevention of the unborn child.
