Summary

This study tests a new program that teaches pregnant women in Bangladesh how to care for their teeth and gums during routine prenatal visits. Over 95% of pregnant women in Bangladesh have gum disease, but oral health is not part of standard pregnancy care. The study will compare women who receive two education sessions, a special brushing technique, and weekly text reminders with those who get standard care. Researchers will track 688 women for 12 weeks to see if the program leads to better brushing habits and cleaner teeth.
