An OB-GYN is a health care provider that cares for you before you get pregnant, during  pregnancy, at childbirth, and the first several weeks after your baby is born. They manage and treat health conditions to ensure you and your baby are healthy. The healthier you are before and during pregnancy, the healthier your baby will be.

Considering Pregnancy? – Make an appointment to see an OB-GYN as soon as possible when planning to get pregnant.

Early Care is Important for a Healthy Pregnancy - During the first trimester, prenatal care includes blood tests, a physical exam, conversations about lifestyle and more.

Need Birth Control? – Birth control can help you make choices about your health, including choices to delay or prevent pregnancy.

A dentist does more than make your teeth look clean. Regular dental visits are important because they protect your overall health. Research has linked gum disease to heart disease and diabetes.

Find Cavities Early - Your dentist examines your teeth to find cavities while they're still minor. The earlier you catch them; the less expensive cavities are to treat.

Catch Gum Disease Early - Many people with gum disease don't even realize they have it.

Review your Oral Hygiene - Your dentist and hygienist can help you build and keep good dental hygiene habits.

These dentists are available by appointment:
