The data were processed and analyzed at a significance level of 5%. Results: The mean age of pregnant women was 27.49 years, 54.64% (n=695) white, 75.39% (n=959) were married and 44.43% (n=565) had low schooling until high school. Of the total 40.09% (n=510) had nausea during tooth brushing and was founded association between nausea and gestation period (p<0.0001); gingival bleeding and Oral Hygiene Index (p<0.0001); and between periodontal condition and flossing (p=0.000).Conclusion: The results suggest that nausea during tooth brushing was associated with the gestational period.
