 Mothers, don't lose your oral health, July 23, 2013
By MOBI Mom (OR)
|
|
During pregnancy, changes in hormones, and increased circulation, makes the gums more prone to bleeding and inflammation. Many women develop gum disease during pregnancy--and once developed, it is difficult to get rid of. This book explains the challenges mothers face, and also explains the causes and preventions of gum disease.
As an adjunct that is not listed in this book, I recommend the book on aloe vera and hydrogen peroxide (food grade) that is available on amazon. In my experience, the combination of these two ingredients is the absolute best preventative of and treatment for gum disease (and of course, see your dentist), and this remedy is still far too little known.

This is a good comprehensive book on oral health and pregnancy. I am a dental hygienist creating a course on this topic. Great practical information for moms-to-be as well as everyone else. As a researcher, I found this information helpful and very important.

This book contains life-saving information!, July 22, 2007
By Charlotte Libov, Health A.. (Miami Beach, FL)

A healthy mouth has a direct impact on a healthy body, a connection that is too often overlooked. Bad mouth hygiene and gum disease is linked not only to pre-natal problems, but also to heart disease. There is no more important time to safeguard your health than during pregnancy. This informative, friendly guide can make sure that gum health is not overlooked during pregnancy. It also provides guidance for good mouth health, and is essential reading, whether you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or even if you are neither!

Habit Changing Work, October 31, 2004
By Scott T. Barnes
|
|
I picked up this book at a local writer's conference. Being a single male, I'm not exactly in the book's target audience, but I like to support local authors. I was very pleasantly surprised. Pregnancy and Oral Health offers very useful information in an agreeable, often humerous style. It is not a fear mongering book, nor is is simply a list (ten things you can do to have better breath...). It is a complete work on oral health, and specifically its importance in pregnancy. It passed what I consider the ultimate test for a "self help" book - it convinced me to change my habits for the better. I'm buying a copy for every woman I know who is thinking about having children.

Recommended reading for expectant mothers everywhere, August 09, 2004
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
|
|
Pregnancy And Oral Health examines the link between gum infections during pregnancy and an increased risk of premature or underweight births, as well as heart attack, stroke, and other serious illness. Chapters provide recommendations for a simple, daily antibacterial program to support the body's natural healing, an eight-point test to determine if one has gum disease, advice for preventing pregnancy gingivitis, straight talk on why brushing and flossing alone may not be enough, and much more. Pregnancy And Oral Health is a superbly presented and welcome supplement to pregnancy reference shelves, and especially recommended reading for expectant mothers everywhere.

Oral Health and Pregnancy Outcomes, July 14, 2004
By Hope Renn (San Diego, CA USA)
|
|
The link between oral health and pregnancy outcomes has become an important focus in the women's health community over the past decade. It is clear that poor oral hygiene and a lack of oral health may contribute to morbidity during the childbearing year. With her book, Pregnancy and Oral Health, Sheila Wolf offers those interested in optimizing their health a valuable tool. This book is accessible, informative and motivating and clearly outlines simple behaviors that will improve one's oral health. As a nurse-midwife serving women throughout their life span, I found this book's content as pertinent to providers of obstetric care as it is to our clients.
