Oral Health During the Periconception Period
摘要
Oral health promotion should include education of women and their health care providers ways to prevent oral disease from occurring and referral for dental services when disease is present. Regardless considering the potential for improved oral health to improve pregnancy outcomes, public policies that support comprehensive dental services for vulnerable women of childbearing age should be expanded so that their own oral and general health is safeguarded and their children’s risk of caries is reduced. However, in this chapter, we have given the relationship between oral health and general health, where oral health care plays a key role in its own right for all individuals.
