MTB’s dental services for pregnant women are safe and crucial. We can help you find dental offices that offer necessary treatments like root canals or extractions, with many insurance plans (like Medi-Cal) offering coverage. It is important to inform your dentist if you’re pregnant, as hormonal changes increase risks for gum disease (gingivitis), requiring good hygiene and avoiding elective procedures until after birth.
Program Objectives
- Ensure Safe and Accessible Preventative Dental Care During Pregnancy: Provide pregnant women with access to safe and appropriate preventative dental care while pregnant.
- Promote Awareness To Prevent and Manage Pregnancy‑Related Oral Health Issues: Reduce the incidence of pregnancy-related gum disease through dental exams, and education on oral hygiene.
- Educate Pregnant Women on Oral Health, Safety, and Medication Use: Empower pregnant women and/ or their families with knowledge on safe dental practices, medication use, and the importance of communication with their dentist.
