Only 41.7% had a regular dentist; 35.3% could not recall
a dental visit in the last two years and 7.2% knew that their
last visit was )5 years ago. Also, 23.6% of last dental visits
had been to fix a problem rather than for a check-up. At
recruitment, only 14.6% had visited a dentist during pregnancy
and a further 20.2% had plans to do so. Because of
variation in gestational age at recruitment (Table 1) these
have been combined in Table 3, showing that women with
and without gingival bleeding were equally likely to have a
dental visit in pregnancy. The overall percentage of women
with a dental visit in pregnancy (34.8%) dropped to half
(17.8%) among women without dental visit in the last
two years. In multivariable analysis, only having a regular
dentist (OR: 2.22; 95% CI: 1.51–3.26) and regular use of
dental floss (OR: 1.57; 95% CI: 1.05–2.33), but not gingival
bleeding (OR: 1.24; 95% CI: 0.86–1.78) or perceived oral
health (OR: 1.08; 95% CI: 0.91–1.28), were associated with
visiting a dentist during pregnancy
