Dental care is mostly sufficient to prevent oral diseases and perform timely interventions. However, few pregnant women go to the dental office during this period due to a lack of knowledge. The perceptions, knowledge, and oral health practices of pregnant women have been scarcely explored and should be taken into account to propose positive interventions in this population.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title><jats:p>To identify and explore the perceptions, knowledge, and practices of oral health in a group of pregnant women in Colombia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Material and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty\u2010four semistructured interviews were conducted in different areas of Colombia. The interviews were conducted via telephone, and the calls were recorded with the consent of the participants. The recordings were transcribed in Word\u00ae and checked for typing and transcription errors. The transcripts were analyzed using a hybrid approach combining inductive and deductive coding. The information was organized and encoded using NVivo12 \u00aesoftware. We followed the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research (SRQR) checklist.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Pregnant women reported having good oral health. One barrier mentioned for occupation (Job) was pregnancy. The appearance of the oral cavity has not negatively affected the relationships of pregnant women.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The pregnant women had good oral hygiene habits but did not receive dental check\u2010ups. Knowledge in this group was limited and diverse. The information given by health professionals should be standardized, and some beliefs should be demystified.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Relevance to Clinical Practice<\/jats:title><jats:p>In general, few pregnant women were aware of bleeding gums during pregnancy. Empower pregnant women to take care of themselves through regular dental check\u2010ups with the aim of preventing and treating oral diseases. Oral hygiene education and healthy nutritional habits should be intensified during this stage.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Patient or Public Contribution<\/jats:title><jats:p>The participation in the study included a semistructured interview by telephone with the prior consent of the pregnant woman authorizing her involvement and the recording of the interview.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/cre2.823","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,11]],"date-time":"2023-12-11T04:58:08Z","timestamp":1702270688000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Perceptions, knowledge, and practices related to oral health in a group of pregnant women: A qualitative study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1387-1935","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juliana","family":"Velosa\u2010Porras","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Bogot\u00e1 Colombia"},{"name":"Centro de Investigaciones Odontol\u00f3gicas CIO, Facultad de Odontolog\u00eda Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Bogot\u00e1 Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4320-695X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nelcy","family":"Rodr\u00edguez Malag\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Bogot\u00e1 Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-051X.2005.00739.x"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","first-page":"238","article-title":"Knowledge of periodontal disease in expecting mothers and its association with utilization of dental services in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia","volume":"35","author":"Al\u2010Swuailem A.
