Abstract

The awareness of gynecologists on oral health conditions during pregnancy is of interest. Gynecologists generally acknowledge the importance of oral health during pregnancy. However, there is a need for improved awareness regarding specific conditions, guidelines, and the importance of routine oral health assessment. Educational interventions and collaborative efforts between gynecologists and dental professionals are crucial to ensure optimal oral health care for pregnant women.
