During pregnancy, the hormones that are in your body leave you more
susceptible to bleeding gums and Gingivitis.
It is important if you are pregnant that you visit the dentist regularly
to ensure that you are not having any problems with your smile due to hormones.
If you have bleeding or swollen gums, a cleaning can be exactly what your smile
needs to get back on track.
Pregnancy gingivitis: Some pregnant women experience swollen and
bleeding gums during pregnancy and hormonal changes during pregnancy alter the
body’s response to the bacteria that causes gum disease. However, bleeding gums
should clear up after pregnancy. If it does not clear up, it is recommended
that you schedule a visit to the dentist in order to evaluate what is still
causing your gums to bleed. As bleeding gums is not normal and should be taken
care of right away.
Some women will have bleeding gums during menstruation. This is due to some hormonal changes that
increase the chances of bleeding gums during their menstrual cycle. While
bleeding gums are not normal, this should also clear up after you are finished
with your cycle.
