My gums have been bleeding a bit while brushing and one tooth is paining too. Never had this before pregnancy. Is it actually connected or just coincidence yaar?
Oh absolutely! My gums started bleeding every time I brushed, which was so annoying when I was already dealing with nausea. Apparently, pregnancy hormones make your gums super sensitive, so don't ignore it.
Having had a miscarriage before, I became extremely cautious about gum infections since they can sometimes affect the baby. If you have bleeding or severe pain, please see your dentist or tell your gynac. Better to be safe.
Actually, teeth and gum sensitivity is common because of hormonal shifts. You don't need expensive dental treatments unless it's severe; just brush twice daily and do warm salt water gargles at home.
Yes, sweetie, they actually are! Pregnancy gingivitis is very real because of all the hormonal changes. Just don't stress too much, use a soft toothbrush and do warm salt water rinses daily.
My gums are currently so swollen that I feel like a walrus! It is definitely due to the pregnancy hormones increasing blood flow. Just use a soft brush and avoid very hot or cold foods.
