Bleeding Gum Problems During Pregnancy

Bleeding gums during pregnancy is a common occurrence because pregnancy generally worsens any existing gum problems. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can exaggerate the body’s normal response to dental plaque. Increased hormonal activity changes the way the gum tissues react to the bacteria in plaque, resulting in an increased likelihood that a pregnant woman, if her daily oral hygiene isn’t very good, will develop bleeding gums.

The plaque that causes bleeding gums does so by irritating the gums, making them bright red, tender, swollen, sensitive, and bleed readily.

There is a positive side to this problem and that is most cases of bleeding gums during pregnancy can be prevented with proper oral hygiene.
