It examines the causes, risks and potential consequences of these problems for the mother and the unborn child. The study is aimed at analyzing dental problems that occur during pregnancy, their frequency, risks and treatment options. Materials and methods. The researchers conducted a systematic review of scientific publications using the databases PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane Library. Studies evaluating dental problems during pregnancy and their impact on maternal and fetal health were included. The study allows concluding that the most common dental problems during pregnancy are: gum inflammation, caries and damage to tooth enamel; hormonal changes during pregnancy can worsen existing dental problems and increase the risk of new ones; untreated dental problems can lead to serious complications such as premature birth, low birth weight and preeclampsia; regular dental check-ups and professional cleaning are recommended to prevent and treat dental problems during pregnancy. The significance of the study lies in considering the treatment and prevention options available to pregnant women. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining proper oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and the use of appropriate dental materials.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This article examines common dental problems associated with pregnancy, such as gum inflammation, caries, and damage to tooth enamel.
