your teeth and gums are really sensitive during pregnancy because of the hormones. I was told by the dentist to floss and use those little brush things to clean between the teeth twice a day. my gums are still sensitive and baby is 5m, if in doubt phone the dentist and beg for an earlier appt.

are you grinding your teeth at night?
My root canal starting hurting recently cos of teeth grinding.

Argghhhh my teeth and gums have been a total nightmare in the last month. I have a dentist appointment on Thursday to get them cleaned but I've been putting it off because when I floss it turns into a bloodbath

Apparently the old wives tale is that you loose a tooth for every pregnancy... Fortunately that shouldn't be the case but it goes to show that mouth problems are pretty common!
