There is an interesting article in today’s New York Times about pregnant women and dental care. Some dentists are reluctant to recommend needed dental care for pregnant patients but there is no evidence that needed dental treatment is harmful to pregnant women or their fetuses.

“Too many pregnant women like Ms. Caseres are not getting timely dental care, experts say. There are plenty of reasons: Some dentists are reluctant to treat pregnant patients, in no small part because of outdated thinking.”
