After all, they can make you feel self-conscious or cause trouble while eating. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.framinghamdentalgroup.com\/dental-implants.html\">Dental implants<\/a> are the gold standard, but you will have to be a good candidate first. One factor that can affect your eligibility right away is pregnancy. Getting them while expecting may not be recommended; here\u2019s what you should know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should I Get Dental Implants While Pregnant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant, then you should wait until your baby is born before getting dental implants. Your body is undergoing many changes, and a few you experience can lead to complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, after placement surgery, your recovery and bone density can be affected. Hormonal changes can also impact your immune system, which can put you at a higher risk of infection, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.framinghamdentalgroup.com\/gum-disease-treatment.html\">gum disease<\/a>. This condition can lead to failure if left untreated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also a few more unique challenges that you may experience. X-rays, pain medications, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.framinghamdentalgroup.com\/sedation-dentistry.html\">sedation<\/a> are often not recommended while expecting, but all of these are used during this tooth replacement. While they are all safe afterward, it doesn\u2019t hurt to keep your baby\u2019s best interests in mind. That way, you don\u2019t need to worry about them being affected by anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Prepare for Dental Implants While Pregnant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While getting dental implants isn\u2019t recommended, it\u2019s perfectly safe for you to start the process by having your consultation. You can learn more about it to see whether it\u2019s something you want to move forward with and what you should expect. It may be possible to get X-rays in your third trimester, but you should still talk to your physician beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to brush and floss twice daily as well. These simple habits remove bacteria that cause oral health problems, like gum disease, in the first place. By keeping up with them, your mouth can be a solid foundation. Eating a smile-friendly diet can also boost your oral and overall health! Don\u2019t forget to also have routine checkups and cleanings. They are a helpful way to spot any issues while they are minor and fix them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, while you should wait to get dental implants until your baby is born, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t do anything now. By adding the things above to your routine, you can improve your chances of being a good candidate right away. If not, then your dentist is here to walk you through what you should do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.framinghamdentalgroup.com\/about.html\">Framingham Dental Group<\/a>, our team is proud to serve patients throughout the local community with exceptional, comprehensive dental care.
