This material is intended for use by oral health professionals in developing collaborative relationships with medical professionals. Topics include (1) what effects hormonal changes have on the oral tissues of pregnant women, (2) why it is important for women to maintain oral health during the childbearing years, (3) signs of gum disease, and (4) what women can do to eliminate the risk of pregnancy complications from oral infections. Additional resources are also presented. The two-page handout contains one full-color illustration of a woman who is pregnant and her developing fetus. Two smaller illustrations depict gum disease and microorganisms from gum infections in the blood that have migrated to the amniotic fluid. This material, along with two sample letters and bibliographies intended for use by oral health professionals in communicating with medical professionals about a mutual client, were developed as implementation tools to accompany the November 2006 issue of Grand Rounds in Oral-Systemic Medicine. The issue focused on periodontal disease in women of childbearing age.
