In this episode, we break down the biggest myths about dental care during pregnancy and uncover what the science really says.

You’ll learn why the old belief of “losing a tooth for every baby” isn’t true, why visiting the dentist is not only safe but recommended by the ADA and ACOG, and how conditions like pregnancy gingivitis and “pregnancy tumors” actually work. We also explore the powerful connection between a mother’s oral health and her baby’s future risk of cavities.

If you're expecting—or know someone who is—this episode clarifies what’s fact, what’s fiction, and why taking care of your smile is truly caring for two.
