Dentist and dental care while pregnant

JND

I found out today that my health insurance covers unlimited dental cleanings while pregnant! Too bad I only have 3 months to go. Anyone else heard of this?

I’ve read about how during pregnancy you’re at much higher risk for cavities and gum disease. I’m thinking of going once a month until the baby is born. Thoughts?

My husband thinks I’m a goof ball because I got excited about the free cleanings. But I figure I’d rather have more cleanings now than suffer real dental work later....
