However, it is important to note that pregnancy doesn’t just cause your body to change, it also causes your oral health to go through a number of phases.
1. Bleeding gums
The change in the levels of progesterone can cause your gums to bleed and swell, particularly when brushing.
2. Dry mouth
A pregnant woman can experience a dry mouth, which can be offset by drinking plenty of water and sucking on sugarless sweets.
3. Excess salvia
On the other hand, some women can experience excess saliva, usually in the early stages.
4. Tooth erosion
If you are experiencing severe morning sickness the frequent vomiting can erode the back of your teeth. Rinse after you have gotten sick and don’t brush straight away.
5. Tenderness
Increased blood flow not only causes swelling but it can also make your teeth tender and sensitive.
