Whenever i brush my gums bleed thoda and its been happening since i got pregnant. Im in 4th month. Is it a normal pregnancy thing? Wanted to know how to manage it.
Oh dear, I had this too and I googled so much that I convinced myself I had a major infection! Please don't worry like I did, it's usually just hormones. Definitely mention it to your gynac in your next visit just to be 100% sure.
Get a soft-bristled toothbrush immediately, that's step one. Also, start rinsing with warm salt water twice a day. It's very simple and works perfectly, no need to overcomplicate it.
Dental checkups can be expensive, so try basic home care first like salt water gargles and a cheap soft brush. If you do need a dentist, check if your maternity insurance covers dental or go to a government hospital clinic to save costs.
Our bodies go through so many changes to bring a soul into this world. Keep your heart calm, drink fresh coconut water, and rinse with warm salt water. God bless you and your little one.
I am in my 6th month and my gums also started bleeding yesterday. Do you guys use any special pregnancy-safe mouthwash, or is regular salt water enough?
Listen, bleeding gums are just because of pregnancy gingivitis, very normal. Just use a super soft brush and don't skip brushing because of the blood. If it doesn't stop, go to a dentist.
Oh, bleeding gums are the worst and it can be so scary to see blood in the morning. I used to cry thinking something was wrong, but it's just pregnancy hormones. Sending you lots of love, you are doing great!
Beta, gargle with lukewarm water mixed with a pinch of salt and turmeric after brushing. It heals the gums naturally. But brush very softly, don't apply too much pressure.
This is very common due to increased blood flow in pregnancy. Book a quick dental cleaning session and tell them you are pregnant. Don't ignore dental hygiene right now.
Please be very gentle with yourself during this sensitive time. I always worry about any kind of bleeding, so I immediately went to my dentist to rule out infections. It's always better to get a professional opinion for peace of mind.
