Since a few weeks my gums bleed thoda har baar brushing ke time, im in 2nd trimester. Pehle kabhi nahi hota tha so im a bit worried. Is it just a pregnancy thing or i should see a dentist?
Actually, pregnancy gingivitis is very common due to increased blood flow and hormones. Try doing warm salt water gargles 2-3 times a day and use a super-soft toothbrush. But if the bleeding is too much, please get a quick checkup done by a dentist.
My dentist at the hospital told me that dental hygiene is crucial during pregnancy because bacteria can affect overall health. They recommended a mild mouthwash and professional cleaning. I'd highly suggest asking your hospital staff or gynecologist to refer you to a safe dentist.
Yes, hormonal changes make our gums very sensitive right now. Brush very gently twice a day and avoid using hard bristles. Regular warm saline rinses are a safe and effective home remedy, but definitely mention this to your gynac during your next visit so they can keep an eye on it.
Mujhe meri bhabhi ne bataya tha ki warm water mein thoda namak daal kar kulla karne se kafi aaram milta hai. Aap ek baar try karke dekhiye na, par agar dukh ho toh doctor se zaroor poochiye.
Oh, I didn't know bleeding gums could happen in pregnancy too! Is it because of the hormonal changes? If anyone has experienced this, please share what worked so I can also keep it in mind for later.
