My Gums Have Turned White And Gone Hard At The Bottom Ever Since I Started On The Contraceptive Pill. Could This Be Related?

February 24th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Mitsas. I know you may not know a lot about this but you’ll probably get this a lot so maybe you will! I have recently gone onto the contraceptive pill and since my gums have turned hard at the bottom and turned almost white in colour. They have been bleeding a small amount too. I don’t think this is a coincidence, it happened very shortly after I got my prescription. Can you please advise tell me if this is something you’ve come across before? Thank you for your time!

I have developed ulcers and have bad breath, do I have gum disease?

Q.

Hello Jose. I have an embarrassing problem. I’m a 19 year old girl. My gums have always bled slightly when brushing but recently ive developed about 5 mouth ulcers, 1 on my lip about 1cm! its too painful to talk sometimes. I brush but im put off my appetite and can taste what feels like disgusting breath. i dont know if this is consequent to my ulcers but my teeth are aching a little too. also, maybe it is relevant to tell you that i am on the contraceptive pill and i have a hormonal deficiency. Darent talk to anyone about this! Thanks
