It’s no secret that your body is going through a lot of changes during pregnancy – after all, you are growing a new human life! You’ve been warned about the hormonal fluctuations, swollen ankles, and strange cravings that hit when you least expect it.

Growing up, you were probably told by your parents and dentist to brush your teeth regularly in order to avoid cavities. Even if you followed this advice every day, cavities can still occur. In fact, most of us will have at least a cavity or two at some point, and if left untreated, they can create harmful medical complications that seriously impact your health.
