Q.

Hello, I have been advised by my dentist that I have a bad problem with gum disease. I have given up smoking and am still using nicorette gum can this aggrivate it? As well as this my mum has had a problem with it, I am on anti depressants and have been taking HRT as i started on the early menopause at 38 yrs old. From what i can see all of these things can be contributory, is this the case and if so what would you recommend as I am very concerned? Thank you

Q.

Okay I definitely need some advice! I’m a 28 year old female and I’m pregnant with my second child. I have been going to the hospital recently because the babies heartbeat has been very fast. I have been quite stressed recently and I’ve noticed my gums being sore and bleeding. I was wondering if this has anything to do with the babies heart rate or stress related? I’m worried but i didn’t want to bug a dentist so if you could answer my question that would be very kind. Thank you.

Has my pregnancy caused gum disease?

December 23rd, 2011
Q.

I am into my second month of pregnancy and I have just been informed after a recommended visit to my dentist that I have gum disease. There is blood when I brush and it was this that first alerted me to this. When I told a friend about this they told me to go to the dentist. Is there any way to treat it without causing any harm to my unborn baby and will it be permanent. Please, this is quite an urgent matter.
