Did you know there has been research linking periodontal disease to preterm births?The bacterias involved in periodontal disease cause inflammation which causes the body to release prostraglandins . These prostraglandins are released into the blood stream and cross the placenta which can increase the risk of preterm labor.If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant make sure you visit your dentist for your check ups to ensure proper periodontal health and a good start for your baby.
