Bleeding gums

[Anyat212]

Is anyone else having trouble with their gums? I’m so embarrassed as I’ve always looked after my teeth and when brushing I honestly look like some sort of cannibal it’s horrible! I’m 20 weeks today and it’s got worse, I went to the dentist around a month ago and she explained the hormones etc and to go back in January. I’m so worried I’m going to loose my teeth!

I also have this awful brown sticky stuff on my teeth every morning, again it looks like I’m a hill billy it’s grim 😩 has anybody got any tips or recommendations for mouth wash? I floss regularly and have corsodyl mouthwash (I don’t use it every day as I know it can stain)

Use anti septic toothpaste euthymol think it’s called. Worked wonders for me, my gums started bleeding heavy!!! It was awful & my gums were swollen after using this twice a day for 1 week no bleeding I do still have a little swelling & in the morning my teeth desperately need brushing also drink pint if milk a sag or whatever you can the calcium will
Help a lot. Good luck

Thanks Lou I’ll have a look into that, I never knew hormones could cause this too.
I have every not so glam pregnancy symptom at the moment! X

Oh I know. I’m the same im a mess. Can’t imagine what I’ll look like after or if I’ll ever recover lol x

I had gingevitis when I was pregnant. It’s totally normal and really common. Keep brushing and talk to your dentist. DS is 9 months and everything has gone back to normal for me
