Gums..

IloveJAV

Since my BFP I have had problems with my gums bleeding. I know this is somewhat normal, but how do I get it to stop. I have one of those fancy electric toothbrushes and I use mouthwash. What do you recommend? I talked to a friend of mine and she said her dentist put some sort of coating on her teeth to help it through her pregnancy.

Yeah, I don't know what that's all about, but I've been having the same thing. I also use Listerine and anti-plaque rinse twice a day, but it's still pretty consistent. Let me know if you learn anything helpful!

changes in our hormones can make our gums bleed more...some ppl even have noticeable bleeding during "that time of the month" You just need to make sure u brush at least 2x's a day and floss.....when you floss make sure u make a "c" around ur tooth inorder to disturb the bacteria below the gumline and don't just pop it down there!   Hope that helps! that's what we tell our patients @ my dds office! Oh and of course listerine type products!

I never had even a hint of pink when I flossed and brushed, and I had a dentist appt right before getting pg and he said everything was great!  All the sudden at 8 week- blam!  Bloody floss! 

It still happens every time- I called dentist and he said to just keep up the routine and that as long as there's no pain or color changes I'm fine.
