(BQ) As dental professionals, our duty is to find ways to provide necessary dental care as safely as possible. Our ideal role is to work with a woman to help her get to a state of ideal oral health before she becomes pregnant.

This book is a quick reference guide on how to maximize the safety of the pregnant woman and her unborn child while providing dental care. | Dentistry and the Pregnant Patient Part 1
