96.3好FM All About Health (A Pregnant Mother’s Oral Health Can Affect Her Baby Too) - Dr Lennie Foo

Dr Lennie Foo Lean Hong, Consultant, Periodontics Unit, Department of Restorative Dentistry was invited to 96.3好FM’s All About Health segment where she shared about the intergenerational consequences of a mother having poor oral health and the impact to her children and the importance of maintaining good oral health during pregnancy.

Dr Foo emphasised that good oral health during pregnancy is important for the mother's comfort and wellbeing, and it may also influence her child's future oral health.

Mothers with untreated dental disease can pass cavity-causing bacteria to their children, increasing the child's risk of early childhood tooth decay. The message underscores the need for pregnant women to pay attention to dental care and seek appropriate treatment for oral health issues.
