Two Irish mums have created a toothpaste specially for pregnant women

A great idea.

When I was pregnant I noticed my teeth really suffered and started to become more sensitive and discoloured. A lot of this was due to have bad morning sickness that was damaging my teeth, but most women, even those who do not have morning sickness, still notice their teeth becoming more sensitive during pregnancy. Hormonal changes alone during pregnancy result in 60 to 75 per cent of women experiencing gingivitis. While there are lots of dental products out their when it comes to sensitive or discoloured teeth, I've haven't seen any specially designed for pregnant women. That is until now. Mothers, dentists and the Co-Founders of Spotlight Oral Care, Dr. Lisa and Dr. Vanessa Creaven, recently announced the launch of their brand-new revolutionary formulation, the Spotlight Oral Care Pregnancy Toothpaste. A world-first for pregnant and breastfeeding women, this toothpaste has been formulated to support the unique oral care challenges faced by mothers during this time. Created for mothers by mothers, Dr Lisa and Dr Vanessa's new toothpaste contains active ingredients including fluoride and folic acid. Spotlight Oral Care Pregnancy Toothpaste also supports cavity protection and strengthens enamel to help maintain gum and tooth health throughout your pregnancy and while you are breastfeeding. Speaking about the launch of their latest product Dr. Lisa and Dr. Vanessa said:

“As mothers and dentists, we understand the importance of good oral care throughout pregnancy and beyond. That’s why we created this world-first formula, specifically for pregnant and breastfeeding women. This clean, toxin-free, active ingredient-infused toothpaste targets some of the most common oral care concerns experienced by pregnancy and breastfeeding mothers, from Cavity Protection and Strengthening Enamel, to Maintaining Gum & Tooth Health. And supported with Folic Acid, our toothpaste offers total oral care protection for mother and baby.”

Spotlight Oral Care Pregnancy is now available to buy for €9.50 from the Spotlight website.
