I'm so sorry if this is gross ladies but what the hell😢 it's been this way for the past 4 months I use Listerine 3 times a day, I floss 2 times a day, and brush 2 times a day😩😳 I've never had teeth or gum issues ever and I hate this i know it's because of pregnancy
@shan548 I have no idea, but I'm irritated because it hurts my gums nor teeth have ever done with with how much I brush and floss I may end up having to go back to Texas for a cleaning I guess
my ermommy, Wow that's crazy. I've been with both of my pregnancies and they have me come in more during then. I had that it was inflamed. My doctor said most likely food got under it and when the food was removed bacteria got under the skin. I'm 7 months and I've been to my doctor 3 times this pregnancy already for cleaning and fill ins. I had 3 fill ins with my first. My doctor doesn't use the gas which is what we can't be around maybe that's the issue.
@shan548 I don't have a set dentist, I'm not from Alabama origionally, but the dentist I have called said they cant see me because I'm pregnant but that's more than just inflamed gums most definitely my ob seems to prescribe everything else so maybe I'll get lucky and he can fix it
@hermommy, that's strange they should still do cleanings for sure. They may not take X-rays and We don't usually do fillings in the first trimester. It may be if your a new patient go back to a place you've been before. 😘best of luck! That looks super uncomfortable
It's an inflamed gum. While pregnant you are suppose to go to the dentist very often. It's easier to catch or have problems with your mouth so just call you dentist. Your OB Doctor can't do anything about that.
@mamabee the office told me they can't see me because I'm pregnant:( i have insurance I believe covers all dental I'll have to check into it again because it's starting to hurt and nothing else is working
I wanted to make a dentist appointment just to check on things. But I think I'll have to wait until after my baby boy is born because they usually take X-rays and I don't have coverage with my tricare. Maybe there's some home remedies to help you out🙁
It is pregnancy gingivitis. You should call and go in for an extra cleaning. Most insurances will pay for one during pregnancy 😄. There is a RX mouth wash that would help but you'd have to ask if it's safe during pregnancy. (Chlorehexidine)
@raegenice it didn't hurt until today, that super swollen one is killer it hurts so bad I want to cry, and I'm working on it, I tried to and they told me they couldn't do anything because I am pregnant😩
