The European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) has launched a campaign to highlight the importance of oral health for pregnant women and for its possible impact on delivery.

Scientific reports, practical guidelines, infographics and other materials are freely available for dental practices, gynaecologists, midwives, physicians, pharmacists, health organisations, and the general public.

A special website has been created to help all 30 EFP-affiliated national societies of periodontology to raise awareness of pregnancy gingivitis and its implications among dentistry professionals, other health professionals, and women: http://www.efp.org/publications/projects/oralhealthandpregnancy/.
