Gum recession occurs due to inflammation in the gums during pregnancy. Gum recession during pregnancy is painful and bleeding. Bleeding gums occur when blood flow to the dental tissue accelerates with the change of hormones and the gums become sensitive and recede.
This hormonal change reduces the body's protection against bacteria and causes gum infections. This situation creates plaque on your teeth and paves the way for gum recession. Gingival recession usually occurs after the 3rd month.
What can I do for gum recession that occurs during pregnancy?
Dental care is inevitable during pregnancy. You should brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss at least once. You should use soft brushes due to your gum sensitivity. You should also meet with your dentist and have your teeth cleaned regularly in accordance with his recommendation. If you leave gum recession alone, it can cause more serious problems such as gingivitis. Gingivitis can even cause premature birth. However, you can make this situation harmless with good care and professional routine dental cleaning.
Below, I will give you a few recommendations for gum recession and healthy oral hygiene.
-
Pregnancy. You can go to your dentist at least once during your life and have your teeth checked.
-
You can gargle with salt water daily or periodically. (You can prepare a gargle with a spoon of salt in a cup of water.)
-
You can brush your teeth twice a day. Especially if you have vomiting in the morning, be sure to brush your teeth after vomiting.
-
Take care of a healthy diet.
Your gums after birth will return to normal. Bleeding and sensitivity will end. If your complaints (such as discomfort and gum recession) increased during pregnancy and continue after birth, be sure to consult your dentist. Report your situation.
I wish you a healthy day.
