Association between self-reported oral health and oral health-related quality of life among pregnant women in Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional study
This study found that the majority of pregnant women experienced tooth sensitivity, dental pain, bad breath, and bleeding gums. Oral problems were significantly related to poor OHRQoL. Similarly, there were independent and significant associations between oral problems and lower OHRQoL among pregnant women.
