Oral odor during pregnancy may be caused by improper diet, insufficient water intake, or difficulty in excreting fecal matter, leading to an increase in toxins. Oral odor can hinder communication between pregnant women and others, and pregnant women themselves are also troubled. So, what should be done with oral odor during pregnancy?
Adjust oral odor during pregnancy from the following aspects:
1. Clean the tongue coating. When pregnant women brush their teeth, they often only brush their teeth without cleaning the tongue coating. However, cleaning the tongue coating can remove food residue on the tongue, eliminate bad breath, and restore the taste buds of the tongue, so that the pregnant woman's taste will not become heavier as she eats.
2. Drink plenty of water and rinse your mouth. Regularly rinsing mouth can remove odors from the mouth. Pregnant women should pay attention to rinsing mouth in a timely manner after meals, which is helpful for oral hygiene. You should also drink plenty of water or some antipyretic drinks such as tea, fruit juice, etc. on a regular basis.
3. Avoid eating spicy, raw, and cold food. Pregnant women's taste can undergo significant changes during pregnancy. They should consume foods that are sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty in moderation. However, they should not eat too much spicy food to avoid bad breath or other adverse effects.
4. Regular dental check ups. It is necessary to have a dental examination before pregnancy for the sake of the pregnant woman's dental health. If there are gum problems that need treatment, it is advisable to avoid dental treatment as much as possible in the early and late stages of pregnancy, and it is best to wait until the middle of pregnancy when it is relatively stable.
