Sore and Bleeding Gums During Pregnancy

Sore and Bleeding Gums During Pregnancy treatment Melbourne

Your stomach isn’t the only thing that’s swollen these days. During pregnancy, your gums may be extra tender, swollen, red, sensitive, and prone to bleeding, especially when you brush and floss.

Don’t be alarmed; it’s perfectly normal. Your gums and teeth will most likely return to normal after delivery, but it’s a good idea to improve your oral health now.

When do your gums typically begin to bleed during pregnancy?

Sore and Bleeding Gums During Pregnancy treatment Melbourne

During the second trimester, expect to see a lot of pink on your toothbrush. From around week 15 of pregnancy on, the same pregnancy hormones that cause your mucus membranes to swell and your sinuses to clog inflame your gums, making them more likely to bleed easily.

What causes bleeding and sore gums during pregnancy?

 

Several factors could be causing your swollen gums and sore mouth during pregnancy, including:

  • Hormone surge, gum swelling Hormones are the most likely culprit, as expected. They’ll also make your mouth more vulnerable to bacteria and plaque, both of which cause tender gums during pregnancy and, in some women, can lead to gingivitis and tooth decay if not treated properly.
  • Changes in your eating and drinking habits. You may also produce less saliva and consume more sweets and carbohydrates during pregnancy, creating an oral environment that is more conducive to plaque and cavities.
  • Reaction to morning sickness is delayed. If you had morning sickness and vomiting earlier in your pregnancy, your teeth and gums may have felt the temporary effects of those unappealing acid baths. Aren’t you relieved it’s over?
  • Your newly sensitive senses. Finally, you may be hypersensitive to the smell or taste of mint while pregnant. An aversion to oral care products is uncommon, but studies suggest that it may explain why some pregnant women avoid their usual brushing and rinsing routines. A more sensitive gag reflex could also be present.

Can pregnancy gingivitis affect the health of my baby?

Sore and Bleeding Gums During Pregnancy treatment Melbourne

There is no evidence that mild red or swollen gums harm your baby’s health or cause a miscarriage or premature birth.

But if left untreated, gingivitis can lead to periodontitis which is linked to preterm delivery and low birth weight. In periodontitis, inflammation causes your gums to pull away from your teeth, leaving pockets that can become infected. Eventually, this can lead to tooth loss.

What can I do if I have bleeding gums while pregnant?

Sore and Bleeding Gums During Pregnancy treatment Melbourne

First and foremost, you have a lot going on, so don’t be too concerned about your gums. However, there are some simple steps you can take right now to address this pregnancy symptom:

Sore and Bleeding Gums During Pregnancy treatment Melbourne

Check yourself

 

Visit your dentist at least once during your pregnancy for a check-up and cleaning, but be sure to inform your dentist and hygienist that you are pregnant. They’ll work with you to ensure you get the pregnancy-safe care you require.

 

Maintain your dental health

 

As a general rule: Brush for two minutes twice a day and floss on a regular basis. But don’t confuse thoroughness with aggression — your brush should always be labelled “soft,” never “medium” or “hard.” You can brush your teeth with a manual or electric toothbrush, but be gentle. Brushing and flossing too aggressively can make tender gums even more sensitive and prone to bleeding. If the smell of mint bothers you, try a fruit-flavored toothpaste.

 

Brush your teeth.

 

Brushing your tongue helps reduce the amount of bacteria in your mouth, as does brushing your teeth.

 

Swish it around

 

Ask your dentist for a non-alcoholic “therapeutic” mouthwash — one that strengthens teeth rather than just freshening your breath — or a rinse you can use daily to reduce bacteria and plaque in your mouth between brushings.

 

Don’t forget to rinse

 

If you have morning sickness while pregnant, make sure to brush — or at least rinse — your teeth and mouth if you’re vomiting. It will not only remove the bad taste in your mouth, but it will also remove the acid and bacteria associated with illness.

 

Eat properly

Make sure you get enough vitamin in your diet because it can help your gums stay healthy and strong. 
Also, meet your daily calcium requirements to keep your teeth and bones strong.

Avoid the sweets

While we support your right to eat whatever foods you want these days, try to limit your intake of sugary treats as much as possible. If you have to pick and choose, avoid chewy sweets in particular, especially if you won’t be able to brush your teeth soon after indulging. If possible, satisfy your sweet tooth with nutrient- and fiber-rich whole fruit. Remember that, while dried fruit is a relatively healthy snack, it also acts like sugar on your teeth — and, because it’s chewy, it can get stuck in places you’d rather it didn’t. So make sure your trail mix contains plenty of protein-rich nuts, or pair it with a piece of cheese.

Take a bite of it

Can’t brush your teeth after eating? Unless you’re allergic, try chewing a piece of sugarless gum or grabbing a handful of nuts or a small chunk of cheese. All of them are antibacterial.

Probably. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are just as important during pregnancy as they are at any other time. However, research suggests that some pregnant women avoid going to the dentist. The reasons are that they are already experiencing nausea or acid reflux and don’t want someone sticking something in their mouth, or they have an irrational fear of the effects of dental procedures on their unborn child.

But now is not the time to neglect your oral health. Taking extra care of your choppers and gums during pregnancy ensures that both remain strong and healthy for as long as possible.

When will my gums stop bleeding while I’m pregnant?

Sore and Bleeding Gums During Pregnancy treatment Melbourne

Following delivery. While pregnancy does pose some risks to your oral health, if your gums were healthy before you became pregnant, they are likely to be healthy after. In fact, the largest studies show no statistically significant differences in the prevalence of gum disease or cavities between pregnant and non-pregnant women.

When should I consult a dentist about bleeding gums while pregnant?

Sore and Bleeding Gums During Pregnancy treatment Melbourne

Some gum tenderness is normal, but if yours are bright red, very sore, and bleed easily — say, your toothbrush has turned pink, or you’re spitting blood out when you rinse — you may have gingivitis, or mild and relatively harmless gum inflammation.

However, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more serious but treatable condition that you should inform your practitioner about.

If you notice a nodule on your gums that bleeds when you brush, consult your dentist. It’s probably a canker sore or a pyogenic granuloma, also known as a “pregnancy tumor” despite the fact that it’s completely harmless.

These small, round red bumps appear in about 5 percent of pregnant women, and can actually pop up all over your body during pregnancy — including on your arms, hands and face — but are especially common on your gums. It should usually go away on its own after delivery, but if it becomes particularly bothersome before then, it can usually be surgically removed.
