If you smoke or drink or if you are pregnant or considering<br />
becoming pregnant, you should pay special<br />
attention to your mouth and inform your dentist, so<br />
that he or she takes the necessary measures. It is widely<br />
studied that smoking and drinking are associated<br />
with different types of cancer, not only with oral<br />
cancer. On the other hand, hormonal changes during<br />
pregnancy worsens gum problems, so taking care of<br />
your mouth is important for you and your baby. Do<br />
not become someone who has to say she lost a tooth<br />
with each pregnancy!<br />
So now you know, a healthy mouth for a healthy<br />
body!<br />
