Dentistry and the Pregnant Patient
An extensive overview of dental care considerations for pregnant patients, emphasizing the physiological changes during pregnancy and their impact on oral health and treatment. The source, an excerpt from a book titled "Dentistry and the Pregnant Patient" by Daniel Ninan, outlines safety guidelines for dental procedures, including the postponement of elective treatment and the management of pregnancy-related oral conditions like gingivitis. A significant portion of the text addresses the administration of medications and anesthetics, detailing FDA pregnancy risk categories (PRCs) and the newer Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling Rule (PLLR) for informed prescribing, and it also covers topics such as radiograph use and nutritional counseling for expectant and nursing mothers.
