  I've heard oil pulling helps (swishing coconut oil around in your mouth) also I ordered this Thieves toothpaste from Young Living and I haven't had bleeding since!

  Hi,
  
  My gums were swollen and bleeding so bad that I had to see a dentist even though my doctor reassured me that it was a common symptom of pregnancy. I had what is called a "whole mouth debridement" done. It was very painful without any anthesthesia. So make sure you have a consent form from your OB for all treatment before you go as I was not prepared and sat through over an hour of excruciating pain. I will say that I have noticed a 90% improvement in my dental health. It has helped significantly and was worth the pain. My gums only bleed once or twice a week in ole area now. I also use a non alcoholic mouth wash after each brush too. That is also helpful in getting to the areas that I missed while brushing. My recommendation to you is to go see your dentist ASAP. You won't regret it.

  Please don't ignore dental pain, OP. I have the worst teeth in the world and ignored a tooth ache and spent 4th of July in the ER with a raging oral infection, followed by a tooth extraction the next week. I'm used to tooth pain, so I just let it go, but the baby makes dental problems 100x's worse. Get it checked out. Try also rinsing with warm salt water in the meantime.
