I have braces and at first they were fine, until I got pregnant. My gums begin to inflame, the OB and the Dentist said that was normal, now that it's been 2 months since I had the baby I am afraid that my gums will never be normal again. Of course the inflammation has decreased but not very much. I brush twice a day, and I floss when possible, what else can I do?

YOU HAVE PREGNANCY GINGIVITIS AND IT IS BROUGHT ON BY THE IMBALANCE IN HORMONES AND MADE WORSE Y YOUR BRACES. IT WILL GO AWAY. BRUSH 3-4 TIMES A DAY AND GARGLE WITH WARM SALT WATER.
IT WILL GO AWAY AFTER YOUR BIRTH, AND WILL TOTALLY DISEAPPEAR WHEN YOUR BRACES GO OFF. IT GETS WORSE IN THE 3RD TRIMESTER USUALLY.
IT IS NOT A CAUSE FOR CONCERN

brush and floss more frequently, make sure you cover every part when you brushing. Seek for dental check up every 3 months. reduce the frequency of eating.
