Abstract
Pregnant women are susceptible to poor oral health which can impact the health of the mother and child (Silk et al 2008). Studies show that poor maternal oral health may affect pregnancy outcomes, increase the risk of early childhood dental decay and limit intake of a nutrient rich diet for pregnant women (Dasanayake et al 2008; Gussy et al 2006).
