Fertility Linked To Oral Health Care in Women 

Studies show that women who want a baby should look after their oral health care. A fertility expert stated in a meeting in Sweden yesterday. During the meeting, delegates heard about preliminary research that found for the first time, from when she starts trying to conceive, a woman’s chances of falling pregnant can depend on how well she looks after her teeth and gums. A professor at the University of Western Australia in Perth, Roger Hart, stated in the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology meeting in Stockholm that the effect of gum disease on conception is about the same order of magnitude as the effect of obesity.
