Pregnancy is a unique time in a woman’s life and is characterized by complex physiological changes affecting general oral health. Pregnancy is also an opportune time to educate women about preventing dental caries in young children, a common childhood problem. This article reviews physiological changes associated with pregnancy and general considerations for the dental treatment of pregnant dental patients as well as for pregnant dental professionals. The limitations and uses of drugs are also discussed. [Thumar S NJIRM 2015; 6(1):93-97]
