Pregnant women are prone to tooth decay during pregnancy

Pregnancy can have a negative effect on your body if you do not maintain a healthy diet. From the moment the egg implants in the uterus, the growing baby will begin to pull nutrients from its mother. If the mother has a poor diet, rest assured that nothing will happen to the baby; however, the mother’s condition will be impacted and her health could be in jeopardy.
