During pregnancy, there are fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone levels in combination with
changes in oral flora and a decreased immune response The increased level of progesterone in
pregnancy causing bacteria to grow, as well as make gum tissue more sensitive to plaque and
exaggerate the body's response to the toxins (poisons) that result from plaque

The mechanism of dental caries starts with a plaque on the tooth surface. Sucrose (sugar) from food
debris and bacteria attach to proceed given time turns into lactic acid which lowers the pH of the
mouth becomes critical (5.5). This causes demineralisation of dental caries continues to be email. PH
decrease repetitive within a specified time will result in a susceptible tooth surface demineralization
and caries process begins from the tooth surface (pits, fissur and interproximal areas) extends to the
pulp.
