Bleeding Gums

I know they say pink toothbrush is common in pregnancy but mine have been bleeding really bad. last night i brushed my teeth, went to sleep and woke up this morning with dried blood on the side of my face and in my mouth. has this happened to anyone else? im a little worried

Re: Bleeding Gums

I have bleeding gums really bad after I brush. I look like a vampire sometimes! But I have never woken up with blood on my pillow. I think though it is probably normal. I know that I drool in my sleep now so maybe that happened to you.

Re: Bleeding Gums

As a dental hygienist I urge you to get a cleaning and go get your gums checked out. Pregnancy gingivitis can be serious if untreated. It is completely safe to have a cleaning at any point during your pregnancy and it will help so so much

At 34 years old I have perfect teeth and gums...as per my dentist...I get bleeding gums while pregnant too...

Re: Bleeding Gums

I would go to the dentist. My gums bleed normally but when I am pregnant it is really bad. Do you floss? Flossing might slove the problem. If I don't floss then my gums bleed. I also rinse with listerine after I floss.

Re: Bleeding Gums

Mine gums were really bad in the beginning too. I went to the dentist and had a cleaning and they are so much better now. I also rinse with listerine after brushing. My dentist said if it gets bad again to come back for a cleaning in 3 months as opposed to 6 months. Def. call your dentist, you will feel so much better.
