New research published in the January/February 2013 issue of General Dentistry, the peer-reviewed clinical journal of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), indicates that the use of a germ-killing mouth-rinse in addition to regular tooth brushing can significantly reduce plaque and gingivitis, more so than brushing alone.

 

For pregnant women, carelessness in oral care can affect the overall health of both mother and child.  Woman's oral health and its effect on pregnancy was discussed in a study published in the November/December 2010 issue of General Dentistry.  This is a peer-reviewed clinical Journal of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD). In the study it is noted that pregnant women can have gingivitis, pregnancy tumors, and gingival enlargement.
