VITAMIN NUTRITION DURING PREGNANCY WITH CARIES DISEASE

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of adequate vitamin intake during pregnancy and its critical role in ensuring maternal health, fetal growth, and the prevention of developmental disorders. Vitamins such as folic acid, vitamin D, vitamin A, iron, and calcium play key roles in supporting healthy organ formation, bone development, and immune system function. Deficiency of essential vitamins during pregnancy can lead to serious complications, including anemia, neural tube defects, preterm birth, and low birth weight. Proper prenatal nutrition, supplementation when necessary, and dietary education are essential for reducing the risks associated with vitamin deficiency and ensuring a healthy pregnancy outcome.
