bleeding gums

fiazo · January 2009

So I was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but the bleeding has begun. My gums have always been somewhat sensitive since I got 4 crowns like 10 years ago & are now bleeding evry time I brush. My last cleaning was 4 mths ago. Anyone else with this problem?

YES! Started about 3 weeks ago for me. I didn't realize that it might be pregnancy related.

Yep, when I floss. I normally have no teeth problems, but this preg and my last preg, I have had this problem. It goes away along with the heart burn, carpel tunnel, and peeing when I bend over as soon as I give birth!

It's a very common thing with pg. You can try rinsing your mouth once or twice a day with a warm salt water rinse. That really helps stop gums from bleeding.

I had it during most of my last pregnancy - it went away completely within days of delivery. ? My dentist gave me some special mouthwash to use - I can't remember the name of it.

Do you floss and rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash (like Listerine)? I have maintained my pre-preg flossing & rinsing routine and I experienced only very minimal bleeding for a few weeks during first trimester.

I'm starting to have a little bleeding after I floss so I'm going to schedule a cleaning at the dentist. It's def. pg-related, another fun symptom!
