In the first CE, collaboration between dentists and the perinatal team is expressed as an essential component of dental healthcare for pregnant women and infants. Current guidelines foster this teamwork and define the roles of healthcare providers to support the care of these patients. By recognizing maternal oral changes that occur during pregnancy, providers may more effectively offer diagnosis and referral and organize and deliver comprehensive oral care.
