How quickly do gum problems show up in pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quickly: Gum disease is a bacterial infection that can be transmitted from person to person. 85% of people have it, but when pregnant, the problems gets worse as the pregnancy proceeds. Look into something like the perio protect method to see if you can find a dentist that can help you while you are pregnant. You don't have to wait for the baby to be born and maybe pass some of the bacteria along.
