Gingivitis: I most commonly see increased gingivitis and calculus(tartar) build up. It normally is associated with insufficient oral hygiene. Often a pregnant woman is not as careful or brushing makes them feel like vomiting so they don't do it as much. You must maintain your hygiene and still see your dentist during that time. Get probs fixed that arise as well.

Angry gums: The hormonal changes that happen during pregnancy cause your gums to be hyper reactive to any irritant. You need to keep your teeth as clean as possible to avoid problems.
