Description
Katy Martin and Rose Legg review in 2026 hyperemesis gravidarum, a harsh form of pregnancy sickness that strikes about 3 percent of pregnancies each year. They press its oral toll on dental teams. The sickness starts before 16 weeks, with fierce nausea and vomiting that block normal eating and drinking and shrink daily life.
Long vomiting can starve the body, skew salts, and shed weight, while acid baths raise cavity and wear risk, warp taste, and dry the mouth. Care can run from anti sickness drugs and steroids to tube or vein feeding in grave cases. Tooth care is hard mid illness, so dental staff must know the state to back patients and work mates alike.
