Toothpaste during pregnancy: a comprehensive guide for expectant mothers
Pregnancy is a transformative time in a woman's life in which the focus is often on general health. One aspect that is often overlooked is dental health. However, hormonal changes during pregnancy can have specific effects on teeth and gums. Many women also have problems with the taste of conventional toothpaste, and they often feel bad from the mint taste. In this guide you will learn why dental care during pregnancy is so important which toothpaste is recommended and how you can optimally protect your teeth in this important time. Why is dental care particularly important during pregnancy? The hormonal changes associated with pregnancy can loosen the connective tissue and expand the blood vessels. This can lead to an increased susceptibility to inflammation and bleeding gums. In addition, the pH value of saliva changes frequently, which can attack the enamel. The tendency to increased consumption of sugar -containing meals during pregnancy increases the risk of coverings, which in turn can affect the enamel. Which toothpaste is recommended during pregnancy? Should you use toothpaste with fluoride during pregnancy? Choosing the right toothpaste plays a crucial role. Fluoride -containing toothpaste is particularly important because Fluoride helps to strengthen the enamel and protect against acid attacks. It is recommended to use a medium -hard toothbrush and clean them thoroughly after every meal. Cleaning the interdental spaces with dental floss and interdental brushes is also important. What to do when swallowing toothpaste during pregnancy? It is not unusual that pregnant women swallow some toothpaste during dental care. As a rule, this is harmless when it happens in small quantities. However, if a larger amount is swallowed or there are concerns, it is advisable to consult a doctor or dentist. Whitening toothpastes during pregnancy should be avoided because they can potentially contain higher amounts of chemicals. Additional tips for optimal dental care during pregnancy: Waiting after vomiting: After vomiting, at least 30 minutes should pass before you brush your teeth to protect the attacked tooth enamel. Use a soft toothbrush: A soft toothbrush with microfines bristles and small heads is gentler on teeth and gums. Toothpaste with anti -inflammatory effect: Aminfluoride and tin fluoride-containing toothpastes can support the regeneration of irritated gums. Fluoride -containing oral rinsing solutions or fluoride geles: These contribute to hardening the enamel. Tooth conscious nutrition: Reduce the consumption of sugar and carbohydrates. Regular visits to the dentist: Regular checks are particularly important in the first and last third of pregnancy. Massage of the gums: Massage your gums with the index finger and a small amount of toothpaste. Dental floss and tongue scraper: use daily Dental floss in brushing your teeth and cleaning your tongue with a tongue scraper. Toothpaste in numerous tastes Many pregnant women disgust from strong tastes and have a big problem, especially with the minty fresh taste of conventional toothpastes. Therefore, it is advisable to use fluoride in various tastes on toothpastes. For example the Toothpaste from Ben & Anna, which are available in numerous flavors, so that there is even something for the most sensitive stomach. Sophie enthusiastically writes about Ben & Anna's toothpaste "I am currently pregnant and previously had a different toothpaste from the drugstore, from which I had to constantly hand over to brushing your teeth (many pregnant women know the problem). After switching to this toothpaste, the problem was sudden Away, so this remains my go-to pregnancy toothpaste. "

The new sustainable soap bag from Ben&Anna
To avoid plastic in the bathroom, solid soaps are the perfect alternative to conventional shower gels, liquid soaps or shampoos. This not only saves us packaging waste, but also avoids microplastics that are found in the products themselves. But how do you properly deal with the plastic-free version in the bathroom?Stored in a standard soap dish, the soap cannot dry properly. The constant moisture not only decomposes the product, but is also a breeding ground for bacteria, which feel particularly comfortable in a humid environment. So what to do? The simply ingenious solution: With the help of a soap bag, the soap can be hung up after use and thus dried out all around. The new BEN&ANNA soap bag is simple and small - a real all-rounder. It holds a piece of Love Soap and ensures that the Love Soap can be hung up in it and thus dried optimally. It can also be filled with soap residues, which are usually in soap dishes or get stuck in the dish and are no longer really suitable for washing due to their small size, but are too good to throw away. In addition, the BEN&ANNA soap bag is ideal for showering and lathering up, because the Love Soaps foam up perfectly in the bag. The sisal structure of the bag also exfoliates the skin when showering and removes dead skin cells. Not just for storage The Ben&Anna soap bag is not only used for optimal storage, but can also be used during the "washing process". Put the soap in the sachet, tie it tightly, moisten it with lukewarm water and knead it. By rubbing against the fibers of the Ben&Anna soap bag, the soap foams up better and is easier to distribute. As a little helper, this product helps us to make our everyday life more sustainable and to keep the bathroom plastic-free. With the Ben&Anna soap bag in hand, the next shower will be a first-class sustainability experience...
