It's recommended to have your teeth checked at least once during pregnancy. If you have pregnancy-related gingivitis, use a soft toothbrush with a gentle toothpaste like Sensodyne, floss at least twice a day, and use Listerine mouthwash.

Yes it is common, you should see a dentist regularly and especially during pregnancy. New research showing that dental problems such as gingivitis and untreated cavities etc. can cause preterm labor. Call and make an appointment to see your dentist.

Go to the dentist and have a really good cleaning done. Many woman including myself have problems with there teeth in pregnancy. You baby sucks up your calcium reserves and your horomones change your blood flow. Take to the Dr. and dentist if it becomes really painful and they have many different way to treat it from liquid novicain to rinse with to over the counter home remedies. Feel better

It IS common in pregnancy and needs to be kept in check during pregnancy. I've not been able to determine why, but flossing is the best thing you can do to combat it. It (and tarter also) can produce bacteria that can get into your bloodstream and cross the placenta putting your baby in harms way. This is why you need to make a hearty attempt to keep it in check.

It's common in pregnancy. Just go to your dentist to ensure you are not developing any cavities or anything like that.

I've heard it can be very painful. Have you seen your dentist regarding this? I'm sure they can help you figure out something that will help soothe your pain and help to fight the gingivitis.
Best of luck!

carry floss and use it religiously. get a strong mouthwash from the dentists office that will help. after you have your baby, treat it asap!

bloody gums and swelling are normal during pregnancy. Just keep up as usual with it, it'll pass after baby gets here.
