Pregnancy

NHS dental treatment is FREE for you during your pregnancy and until your child is one year old.

Make an appointment to visit a dentist as soon as possible now that you are pregnant. For help finding a dentist in Wales, visit NHS 111 Wales

Choose healthy snacks – try to keep all sugary food and drinks to mealtimes.

Bump, Baby and Beyond

If your oral hygiene is not good, hormonal changes during pregnancy may cause your gums to become swollen and bleed when brushed. Brush teeth twice a day with a toothpaste containing 1350-1500ppm fluoride.

After brushing, spit don’t rinse.
