Now that I am
pregnant, my gums are
more sensitive and bleed
more easily. Why?
A :
The body during pregnancy
is going through many
hormonal changes and a common
side effect is sensitive or inflamed
gums. Meticulous oral hygiene and
brushing is very important during
this time to keep gums healthy and
reduce chance of infection getting
into the mothers bloodstream.
Women who take proper oral
hygiene measures and have a
nutritious diet are more likely to
avoid gum problems
