There are plenty of commonly known substances, practices, infections, and conditions that can adversely affect the health of your baby, but we\u2019d like to tell you about the lesser known dangers to your baby.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Drs. Barganier, and Zuffi want you to know that research has shown a significant connection between the <a href=\"http:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/services\/gum-disease-treatment\/\">oral health<\/a> of mothers and the health of their babies throughout pregnancy and infancy. We at Carolina Complete Dental know that mothers will do everything in their power to keep their children healthy, and that\u2019s why we are asking Goose Creek mothers to make a commitment to their own health. Read on to find out how and why!<b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>How can Gum Disease Affect My Baby?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>If you are an expectant mother with gum disease, recent studies suggest that your baby is seven times more likely to be born underweight. <\/b>Scientists believe this is because of the toll gum infection takes on mothers\u2019 bodies during the pregnancy. If you have gum disease or fear you may, don\u2019t panic! Drs. Barganier, and Zuffi can treat the vast majority of periodontal (gum) disease cases, and it is usually a very simple process. As always, your best line of defense is to visit Carolina Complete Dental for your<a href=\"http:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/patient-info\/\"> twice-a-year cleanings<\/a> and we will advise you on how best to care for your mouth and treat any problems that may arise.<\/p>\n<p><b>How Can Cavities in Baby Teeth Affect My Child?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>While gum disease can pose problems during your pregnancy, cavities are troublesome for newborns and infants. Because babies\u2019 immune systems are still developing, they are at high risk for getting cavities from adults or children. <b>This means if you have a cavity, it is possible to give it to your baby through an exchange of saliva. <\/b>Cavities are formed as a result of bacteria and various other conditions in the mouth, so they can spread from one person to another. Babies are particularly susceptible to this because of their weak immune systems and frequent contact with their parents\u2019 saliva. In light of that, it is best to be mindful of sharing food, utensils, and kissing your baby on the mouth. If you want to be sure of your baby\u2019s oral health safety and prevent cavities in baby teeth, the best thing to do is come see Drs. Barganier, and Zuffi!<\/p>\n<p><b>What can I do to Protect My Baby\u2019s Health?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This is a question that all mothers and fathers struggle with at some point or another. In fact, many mothers focus so much on the health of their babies that they neglect their own health. <b>If you really want to protect your baby, protect yourself by staying healthy!<\/b> We at Carolina Complete Dental know that having a baby and caring for a newborn can be very stressful, but we ask that you never lose sight of your own health during the process. Research has shown that stress is linked to problems with oral health, such as gum disease, bruxism (grinding your teeth), canker sores, xerostomia (dry mouth), and even temporomandibular disorder (TMD), a jaw malfunction that can cause earaches, headaches, jaw fatigue, and an uncomfortable clicking of the jaw. Don\u2019t let it happen to you!<\/p>\n<p>The moral of the story is that we want all Goose Creek mothers to be healthy moms with happy smiles, so <a href=\"http:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/contact\/\">make sure to see<\/a> Drs. Barganier, and Zuffi for your regular cleanings and visit all your other doctors regularly.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sources<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.1800dentist.com\/dental-care\/stress-and-oral-health\/\">http:\/\/www.1800dentist.com\/dental-care\/stress-and-oral-health\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/35989527\/ns\/health-oral_health\/\">http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/35989527\/ns\/health-oral_health\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.articlesbase.com\/womens-health-articles\/low-birth-weight-babies-and-mothers-oral-health-1457380.html\">http:\/\/www.articlesbase.com\/womens-health-articles\/low-birth-weight-babies-and-mothers-oral-health-1457380.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Expectant and new mothers in this day and age have a lot to think about.
