The prevalence and intensity of dental caries among pregnant women are 1.3 times higher in the Urgenchdistrict of the Khorezm region compared to the Kibray district of the Tashkent region. These figures increase with each subsequent pregnancy. The same pattern is observed for periodontal and oral mucosa diseases.
