"Spring Clean" 2007 Program!
Did you know that a healthy pregnancy can start in the mouth? Pregnant women and those women considering becoming pregnant can significantly reduce their chances of premature labor and delivery by taking care of their oral health.
A 2006 American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology study, found that 30% of women with moderate to severe periodontal disease (inflammation of the gums with bleeding and loss of tissue that holds the tooth in place) delivered small for their gestational age babies.
"The nurses and physicians here in the Birth Center are focused on our patient's overall health and wellness", states Family Birth Center's Nurse Manager, Jody Dawson.
In an effort to help this information reach our county residents, the Family Birth Center has purchased 500 dental kits that will be distributed throughout the county. Staff Nurse, Sasha Reynolds, RNC, the brains behind this initiative, wants to remind everyone of the importance of taking care of their oral health. "Brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, limit foods containing sugar, avoid sodas, and see your dentist twice a year to improve your overall health."
If you have further questions regarding dental kit distribution, please contact the Family Birth Center at (707) 262-5085.
