Tooth and/or gum pain...is it due to my pregancy?

Question

I am 5 months pregnant and I am healthy, taking my vitamins, and everything is normal. However, the last couple of days either the tops of my top/front 8 or so teeth or the bottoms of my gums near those teeth are sore - I can't really tell which. The gums are not red or swollen that I can tell. Also, my gums are not bleeding when I brush my teeth.

Is this normal? Has anyone had this? I know that pregnancy can cause tooth/gum changes but there is usually swelling or blood involved, right?

Answer 1

No it is not normal. Brush and mouthwash with Hydrogen Peroxide to heal them up. Two or three times a week will keep your gums healthy.
