Link between Mother's Gum Disease and Baby's Death

According to this article, a pregnant woman's gum disease can be harmful for the baby. The bacteria from the gums travels thru the bloodstream to the placenta and because of special conditions of the womb, the fetus can be more susceptible. So note to pregnant women and future pregnant women - when you become pregnant or are trying to get pregnant, take time to go see your dentist to make sure everything is healthy. And don't forget to brush and floss recently.
