Taking care of yourself takes care of your baby. Pregnancy is the most wonderful gift and a life-changing adventure! It comes with a mix of joy, new challenges, plenty of changes, a few sacrifices and a whole world of possibilities. The choices that you make while you are pregnant will have an impact on the development of your baby. This is particularly true when it comes to oral health. If you want to set your baby off to a healthy start, you will need to be mindful of how your nutrition and oral health can affect your baby even before birth.
