When Your Smile Speaks for Two
Fears Pregnant Women Rarely Voice
You’re glowing, but also anxious. Amid all the scans, supplements and sleepless nights, one thing often gets overlooked & your oral health during pregnancy.
“Will a dental treatment harm my baby?”
“Can I get dental work while pregnant?”
“Is it safe to get a filling in my second trimester?”
If these thoughts have crossed your mind, you’re not alone. Many it moms delay dental care due to fear or misinformation.
But here’s what pregnancy-safe dental care experts want you to know: your oral health directly affects your baby’s health.
At Mulberry Dental and Women’s Hospital, Nallagandla, Hyderabad, led by Dr. Swathi Thaduri and Dr. Arjun Thiruvaipati, we integrate evidence-based dental and obstetric care to ensure both mother and baby stay healthy.

Why Dental Care During Pregnancy Is Essential?
Pregnancy causes massive hormonal changes. And with those changes come unexpected symptoms: bleeding gums, tooth sensitivity or strange oral growths.
- 70% of pregnant women develop gingivitis due to hormonal changes
- Untreated periodontal disease may lead to:
- Preterm birth
- Low birth weight
- Preeclampsia
Dental check-ups and cleanings are safe and recommended throughout pregnancy, especially in the second trimester (13 to 28 weeks).
That’s why global bodies like MRCOG, ADA, and ACOG now recommend routine dental care as part of prenatal care, just like ultrasounds or blood tests.
We should also take care of our food habits during this time, try to include these instead of sugary cravings which is beneficial for both mom and baby.
We follow international guidelines to ensure every treatment is both safe and essential for you and your baby. Moreover, we also use iTero 5D scans to detect hidden cavities and dental infections, without using X-rays. This is especially helpful during pregnancy, when minimizing radiation exposure is a priority.
