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.

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.
