USE OF DENTAL SERVICES BY PREGNANT WOMEN WHO RECOVERED COVID-19 DURING PREGNANCY

Abstract

Poor oral hygiene during pregnancy may be associated with poor pregnancy outcomes, especially in pregnant women who have recovered from COVID-19 during pregnancy, but the number of dental consultations among pregnant women appears to be low. Methods: This was a questionnaire-based study of 40 women who attended an antenatal clinic at Samarkand City Maternity Complex No. 1. Results: Only 6 (15%) patients consulted a dentist during a presumed pregnancy because of complaints such as pain in the teeth and caries (66.5%), pain, and swelling of the gums (33.5%). The most common reason for not visiting a dentist during a given pregnancy was that the visit was not related to the outcome of the pregnancy. After our consultation, only 19 (47.5%) agreed to see a dentist for subsequent pregnancies. Conclusions: The prevalence of dental consultations during pregnancy is very low. Pregnant women should be encouraged to have regular dental consultations, with oral health counseling and preventive check-ups included in routine prenatal care.
