I am perfectly aware that maintaining good oral hygiene is important, but this study is new to me. No one could’ve ever thought of the connection of oral diseases to giving birth. In this case, women particularly, should be more responsible with their dental hygiene. Toothbrush, mouthwash and dental floss – aside from your dentist, these things should be your friends. I sincerely appreciate the information!
