Pregnancy & Early Childhood Content Gets an Oral Health Reboot

Posted by Jo Charest on Jul 6, 2017 2:14:00 PM

Bleeding gums, sore teeth and nausea ... many pregnant women experience changes in their mouths (not to mention the rest of their bodies). Yet, 56% do not visit a dentist during this time.
