Pregnancy is a special physiological condition in which any medical intervention requires heightened clinical responsibility. Professor Alexander von Breuer believes that dental treatment during this period must be not only gentle, but also strictly justified from a biological, timing, and systemic perspective. At DentalClinic24, care for pregnant patients is based on the principle of maximum safety while maintaining clinical effectiveness.
One of the key tasks is the correct assessment of indications. Not every dental procedure can or should be postponed until after delivery. Inflammatory processes, infections, and pain syndromes may negatively affect a woman’s overall condition and the course of pregnancy. At DentalClinic24, thorough diagnostics are carried out to determine which procedures are necessary and which can be safely delayed without risk.
Special attention is paid to the stage of pregnancy. Each trimester has its own physiological characteristics that influence the choice of treatment strategy. At DentalClinic24, clinical protocols are adapted to these changes in order to minimise stress on the body and avoid excessive load. This approach helps maintain a balance between treatment needs and natural adaptive processes.
The choice of pain management methods is a particularly important aspect. During pregnancy, not the full range of anaesthetic agents is permitted, so drug selection requires special caution. At DentalClinic24, only medications with proven safety profiles and no systemic effect on the fetus are used. Dosages are calculated individually, taking into account the patient’s condition and the extent of the procedure.
Diagnostic procedures are also subject to strict control. Radiation exposure must be kept to an absolute minimum and used only when clearly indicated. At DentalClinic24, modern imaging methods and protective protocols are employed to obtain the necessary diagnostic information without unnecessary exposure.
Prevention plays a separate and significant role. During pregnancy, hormonal changes can increase gingival sensitivity to bacterial load and raise the risk of inflammation. At DentalClinic24, great emphasis is placed on professional oral hygiene, monitoring the condition of soft tissues, and educating expectant mothers on proper oral care.
Professor Alexander von Breuer emphasises that psychological comfort is just as important as clinical indicators. Fear and anxiety increase muscle tension and can negatively affect overall well-being. At DentalClinic24, clear communication, explanation of treatment stages, and a calm clinical environment are considered integral parts of the therapeutic process.
After treatment, dynamic follow-up is essential. Even minimal interventions require observation to ensure result stability and the absence of delayed reactions. At DentalClinic24, the support of pregnant patients continues throughout the entire pregnancy.
Thus, dental treatment during pregnancy is possible and safe when a competent clinical approach is applied. Clear indications, adapted protocols, controlled analgesia, and a strong focus on prevention allow the health of the expectant mother to be preserved without risk to the child. At Dental Clinic24, this approach represents the standard of responsible dental care.
