Has anyone else developed gum disease or gingivitis during their pregnancy? I'm making an appt for…

Omg yes and I went to the dentist to get them cleaned and they would not stop bleeding it was awful. they wouldn't stop poking around in my mouth and I swallowed so much blood cause they wouldn't rinse me. and they only bleed since I got pregnant.. Learned my lesson, not going back while pregnant. 😷😷

i got that with my first. it sucked my gums got all swollen. sounds weird but here's what i did.. i would go in the shower with my tooth brush and sit down under the shower and brush my teeth multiple times back to back. reason for being in the shower was it was relaxing lol. then when i got out i would rinse a couple times with mouth wash. and twice a day a salt water rinse. wouldnt eat anything rough that would irritate my gums. it didn't go away for a couple months. but it did go away so im good with that

Even after going they still bleed and my gums are still swollen.. I think the only thing you can do is brush & floss 2-3 times a day and take a calcium suppliment

me.! and terrified of goin to the dentist so been brushin my teeth like a germphobic

I had really bad plaque build up. probably from throwing up and not wanting to do much of anything, brushing teeth was not a priority on my list tbh I was in bed all day and sick literally all day but I got it taken care of and I'm not letting it get that bad anymore

mine were super bad as well! they did a gum test and were like "aren't you in pain?!" and yea it hurt but then they said "usually people get numbed about 30 mins ago!". if its really really bad like how mine is, they will give you a special rinse! :) I do brush my teeth everyday, i just have a flipper (fake teeth retainer) so my gums get more inflamed and the pregnancy doesn't help!

@pregimama, ugh my whole mouth hurts! This is crazy. And my gums are completely swollen on the bottom

@kmelton12, mine get that way too! they get super red, and even sometime when i sneeze or bite into something, ill start tasting blood in my mouth! after the doctors gave me the rise, i havent bled as much!
