The hormonal changes during pregnancy make the tissues like gums and bone more prone for damage from the same amount of infection. These hormones are basically steroids. And to put it simply, these hormones provide food for some specific species of bacteria which increase in number during pregnancy and lactation.
Therefore it is more important to take care of the oral health during these stages. Regular daily maintenance is as important as regular check up with the dentist.
