Have you ever wondered about whether pregnancy can impact the health of your teeth and gums?

Welcome to episode 2 of Watch Your Mouth, a podcast by the Australian Dental Association. This episode is the first of an eight-part series based on pregnancy, infant and child oral health care with host Jimmy Rees, well known from his time as Jimmy Giggle on the children's TV show Giggle and Hoot.

In this episode, Jimmy talks with Dr Chaturi Neboda, a paediatric dentist about pregnancy and how it can impact women's oral health. Jimmy chats with Dr Neboda about when it is the best time to see a dentist whilst pregnant, how being pregnant can affect the teeth and gums, and whether the saying 'women lose one tooth for every child they have' is true.

The Watch Your Mouth podcast is made possible thanks to Extra Oral Healthcare Program.
