Oral health for pregnant women
Pregnant women should take special care of their teeth.
Pregnancy is the time when moms-to-be are most prone to ill health. So, it is important for them to be cautious. However, most of them tend to ignore their oral health since they are not aware of its importance for their overall well-being and a smooth hassle-free delivery.
There is a link between a pregnant woman's oral health and the health of the fetus. In fact, pregnant women who have periodontal disease may be seven times more likely to have a premature baby.
Dr D Gopalakrishnan informs, "Gingivitis (inflammation of the gum tissue) during pregnancy is a common oral complication which affects many moms-to-be. Bleeding, swollen, red or tender gums and even bad breath are a few symptoms of pregnancy gingivitis. In fact, eighty per cent moms-to-be complain of oral complications. And, when you leave it untreated, the symptoms may intensify."
He adds, "Periodontal diseases have a negative impact on the teeth and gums of the baby. The condition should be avoided and all problems should be treated in time to avoid complications."
It is also important for a pregnant woman to go for a regular check-up to the dentist. It is imperative to get the teeth examined before and after they have conceived. Dr Radhika Raman says, "To begin with, ladies should brush with bristles that are soft. And, women should rinse their mouth with antibacterial mouthwash. But, they should check with the doctors before using the right brand."
With proper oral hygiene and diet rich in fibre, minerals and vitamins, one can ensure good health during pregnancy.
Oral care
1. One should brush one's teeth at least for 3-4 minutes daily.
2. Use a 45 degree angle while placing the bristles along the gum line. Gently brush the outer tooth surfaces using a vibrating back and forth motion. To clean biting surfaces of the teeth use scrubbing motion.
3. Women should rinse their mouth with an essential anti-microbial mouthwash on a regular basis. It is good to use mouthwash as it reaches the parts of the mouth the toothbrush can't.
4. Floss regularly to clean the spaces between your teeth.
5. Maintain a healthy diet and an adequate intake of Vitamin C.
6. Try to have less sugary food.

AIDS cases in pregnant women worry experts
MANDYA: Whether it is because HIV tests have been made mandatory for pregnant womenunder prevention-of-mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) programme in government hospitals or the fact that youths are getting promiscuous, the rise in HIV positive cases is causing concern among the medical fraternity.
According to Vinayak, supervisor of District AIDS Preventive and Control Unit, between 2002 and November 2011, a total of 9,883 HIV+ cases were detected. "In 2010, 894 positive cases were detected, while in 2011 up to November, 942 cases were detected. Though the number of HIV+ cases detected in Integrated Counselling and Testing Centres (ICTC) has come down, the overall number of cases detected under PMTCT and HIV+ positive cases has gradually increased," he said.
Dr Rekha, working at the Retroviral Treatment Centre (ART), said that after the HIV test was made mandatory for mothers in government hospitals, they found that there were a growing number of HIV+positive cases. "This is because married women are the real victims of spouses who stray," she added.
According to statistics available at the ART centre, 281 persons affected with AIDS have died between 2009 and 2010 in Mandya district, and 3,299 HIV+ cases were detected in the same period. "We are collecting and codifying 2011's data of HIV+ cases," Rekha said. She said the mandatory HIV test for pregnant women and mothers under the PMTCT programme has become an effective tool in unearthing more HIV positive cases. This detective mechanism is good for two reasons. "By this, we can easily identify a HIV+ pregnant woman during the prenatal visit and it will also help us to protect the child from being infected with HIV through the ART," she said.
PMTCT has shown gradual increase on the graph of HIV+ cases. "If there is no such detection mechanism in government hospitals, HIV in pregnant women would otherw
