Gingivitis is a common oral disease among pregnant women. Generally, it is most likely to affect the health of the fetus in the first three months of pregnancy. Because estrogen increases during pregnancy, the immunity of pregnant women decreases, and the ecological changes in dental plaque colonies can easily cause gum inflammation. If there is only a small amount of local bleeding on the gums, there is no need to panic. It will usually get better after the hormones return to normal during pregnancy. Just pay attention to oral hygiene and eat more fruits and vegetables.
If gum bleeding during pregnancy continues to worsen, and the gums appear edematous and brittle; the gum papilla between the teeth is more obvious, purple-red protrusions, and will bleed with the slightest touch, it is best to seek treatment in time. See a dentist to prevent oral diseases from affecting the health of the next generation.
