I came across this website this morning. This might be old news for some of you, but for those who have never heard of this I think its some great information.

Also there are many other articles not only linking gingivitis to trouble concieving but also to misscaraige and premature births.

That is interesting.  I knew the link between gingivitis and pregnancy issues but not with ttc issues.  Thanks for sharing!

Oral health is crucial...also as women, heart disease is the number 1 killer and bad teeth/gum disease leads to heart disease. Take care of your teeth ladies!

Indeed....also, there's a link between gingivitis and early miscarriage and preterm labor as well!  Interesting stuff :).

So, ladies, get those teeth cleaned :)

Interesting, I think the more interesting part to me was that they said the average person only took 5 months to get pregnant with a healthy mouth. I didn't know the average was that low!
