Whenever I brush these days my gums bleed a little, im in 5th month. Heard it can happen in pregnancy but still it bothers me na. Any tips from u all that actually helped?
Oh, I panicked so much when I saw blood while brushing my teeth during my first trimester! But my gynac reassured me that pregnancy gingivitis is super common due to increased blood flow. She suggested using a soft-bristled brush, and it slowly got much better.
Hormonal shifts can make your gums really sensitive during pregnancy, which is very common but shouldn't be ignored. I had PCOS, so my hormones were already all over the place, and I had to be very careful with dental hygiene. Do mention it to your gynac so they can recommend a safe mouthwash.
Listen, pregnancy gingivitis is normal but don't ignore it. Use a soft brush, do salt water rinses, and most importantly, visit a dentist for a safe cleaning. Tell them you are pregnant so they avoid x-rays, it's a quick and easy fix.
I had terrible bleeding gums in my second trimester, but honestly, it completely went away right after delivery. Looking back now that my kid is a toddler, I realize how many weird symptoms pregnancy brings! Just use a soft brush and keep your teeth clean, it's temporary.
Sabse simple ilaaj hai ki din me do baar gungune pani me thoda namak dalkar rinse karo, isse bleeding aur swelling dono kam hogi. Ek soft toothbrush le aao aur dhyan se brush karo. Agar jyada bleeding ho toh doctor ko dikha lena.
When my gums started bleeding, I felt so worried that I was lacking some vitamins or doing something wrong. But then my dentist told me it's just pregnancy hormones making the gums swell. Doing warm salt water rinses twice a day really helped soothe my mouth.
I didn't even know bleeding gums was a pregnancy thing, this sounds so scary! I am planning my pregnancy now, so I'll definitely make sure to get a dental checkup done before conceiving. Thanks for bringing this up!
This is very common because of the high progesterone levels in your body right now. I found that brushing very gently with a soft toothbrush and flossing daily helped a lot. Also, make sure you are taking your calcium and Vitamin C supplements regularly as advised by your doctor.
