Mine would just bleed when i brushed my teeth then right at the end they would bleed whenever i ate anything. I was in the mall eating my lunch and DP told me i was bleeding, my whole mouth was bleeding it was so embarassing people were staring...
Hi Kat, it is not really necessary for anyone to use mouth wash, it really only freshens, your breath. If you do use mouth wash make sure it is alcohol free as the alcohol can irritate the soft tissues in your mouth and further aggravate your gums. Really recommend flossing daily and brushing at least twice a day. And it is a fallacy that teeth are effected by pregnancy it is actually your gums that suffer during this time!! I've got 22 weeks til EDD! Other than teeth i hope you are feeling well!! )
Yeh asides from the gums I am generally well. I do brush twice a day but I refuse to use mouth wash with what I have read up on.
I have about 20 weeks to go so I hope it doesn't get worse
My bleeding gums stopped as soon as I started taking vitamin C 1000mg .. It can be a common cause of bleeding gums.
Just dont take the chewable vitamin C tablets because most or all of them contain sodium saccharin as an artificial sweetener which is bad for you and baby
