title: Oral health during perinatal period in New York State. Evaluation of 2005 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System data.
abstract: Perinatal health and oral health behaviors and experiences were evaluated using the 2005 New York State Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System data. Pregnancy is an opportune time for oral health promotion; however, the data indicated that a substantial proportion of women reportedly did not make a dental visit and/or receive any oral health advice during pregnancy. We discuss the challenges, opportunities and next steps for promoting perinatal oral health programs in New York State.
