What are ways to treat bleeding/sensitive gums while pregnant?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Pregnancy Gingivitis: Morning sickness and hormone changes make gums sensitive during pregnancy. Use a small toothbrush and mild tasting toothpaste so you don't trigger your gag reflex. Use a mouthrinse designed for gum health that does not contain sd alcohol. Visit your dentist as soon as you find out your are pregnant. Women with periodontitis (bone disease) may have premature babies.

Good habits: Pregnancy hormones can create inflammation in the gums. The best way to minimize it is with excellent brushing and flossing habits. Visit your dentist for your regular cleanings and checkups even if you are pregnant.
