Since last 2 weeks jab bhi I brush my gums start bleeding thoda bit. Im in my 5th month and never had this issue before. Is this a pregnancy thing or should i show a dentist? anyone else faced this?
Honestly, morning rush me focus nahi hota but then I noticed blood while brushing. It is very common due to pregnancy hormones, so do not worry too much. Just get a super soft toothbrush and mention it to your dentist in your next checkup.
I can only share what happened with me, my gums used to bleed every single morning in the third month. I just switched to a sensitive toothpaste and a very soft bristle brush. Actually it stopped on its own after a few weeks.
Having gone through so much to get here, I know how every little symptom makes us panic. Bleeding gums are very common due to all the hormonal changes, dear. Just ask your doctor once during your next visit so you can have complete peace of mind.
My mother told me to rinse with warm saltwater after eating, it really helped calm the swelling. Pregnancy hormones change a lot of things in our body na. Please check with your dentist too if it bleeds too much.
Oh I had this too during my second trimester, it felt so annoying. Just try to brush gently and drink lots of water to keep your mouth clean. It usually goes away after delivery, so don't stress.
It can be really scary to see blood while brushing, but please be gentle on yourself. This is very normal during pregnancy. Try to rest and drink warm water.
My gynac told me that increased blood flow and progesterone make gums really sensitive right now. She advised me to avoid very hard foods and recommended a professional dental cleaning. Better to get it checked once to avoid any infection.
