Understanding Pregnancy Gingivitis

During pregnancy, hormonal surges (specifically progesterone) can increase blood flow to gum tissues, making them more sensitive to plaque. This often results in "pregnancy gingivitis," characterized by redness, swelling, and bleeding. If left untreated, it can progress to more serious periodontal disease, which has been linked to preterm birth and low birth weight. Safe dental cleanings during the second trimester are highly recommended.

Recognizing the Symptoms of Pregnancy Gingivitis

  • Swollen gums
  • Bleeding during brushing
  • Tender gum tissue
  • Pregnancy tumors (small oral growths)
