n this episode of Life’s a Mom, Nicole sits down with Dr. Agla to talk about something many moms put on the back burner: their dental health.

From pregnancy hormones to postpartum recovery, motherhood brings a lot of changes to the body — and your oral health is no exception. Dr. Agla breaks down why dental care is so important for moms, how pregnancy can impact your teeth and gums, and the simple habits that can make a big difference for both you and your children.

They also dive into why so many people fear the dentist, how dental anxiety often starts in childhood, and what moms can do to help their kids build healthy and confident relationships with dental care from the very beginning.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why oral health matters during pregnancy and postpartum
• How hormones affect your teeth and gums
• When children should first see a dentist
• The most common dental mistakes busy moms make
• How to prevent dental anxiety in kids
• Simple daily habits that protect your smile
• The connection between oral health and overall health
• Modern advances in dentistry that make visits easier than ever

If you’ve ever postponed your own dental care while taking care of everyone else, this episode is a reminder that your health matters too.

Because taking care of your smile is part of taking care of yourself — and your family.

Thanks for being here. Take care of you, and I’ll meet you back here next week on Life’s a Mom. 🦷
