My Gums Are Receding And It’s Affecting My Smile. Is This Because I’m Pregnant?

December 9th, 2013
Q.

Hi. My gums are receding only at the top of my canines and its making the rest of my smile look horrible. I feel a gum graft is a little too extreme for my circumstances so can you recommend anything to at least slow down the process? It seems to have gotten a lot worse since becoming pregnant. I’ve spoken to my dentist who has told me to avoid brushing too harshly but I don’t think that’s the problem. Thank you for your time and help in advance!

I’ve Recently Become Pregnant And I Want To Protect Against Gum Disease As Best As I Can, What Can You Suggest?

October 7th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I have just found out that I am pregnant. I have been told and witnessed my other pregnant friend’s teeth deterioration during their pregnancies. Two of them suffered from gum disease too. I don’t want this to happen to me, can you please suggest something that will improve and maintain my oral health during pregnancy please? Do you think I’ll have to visit my hygienist more often? Thank you for your time and advice.

July 20th, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr,
please could you give me some advice, I have always looked after my teeth, brushed twice a day, floss and used mouth wash and never had a problem, but as soon as I got pregnant my gum began to become sore and now iam 7months gone they’ve started to bleed. Please could you tell me why this is happening, how to stop it and if it will affect my unborn baby? thanks for this
