Dental practitioners often treat patients that are pregnant. Understanding the altered physiology in the pregnant patient, especially changes in immune function, is vital in effective management of orofacial infections. We present a case of rapidly spreading odontogenic infection in a pregnant patient requiring surgical management. We also discuss the physiological changes of pregnancy relevant to dentistry, and the principles of managing such infections in the gravid patient.

“…This would provide cover for not only the majority of the viridans streptococci but also the fastidious gram negatives and anaerobes, many of which now produce β-lactamases. [13][14][15][16] In the case of individuals who are allergic to penicillin, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns suggest that clindamycin would be a good choice. Efforts should be made to ascertain the extent and nature, including antimicrobial susceptibilities, of bacteraemia associated with dental manipulations in this patient group.…”
