General Health Information

Research has shown that almost 50% of women experience dental
problems such as bleeding, swollen and irritated gums. The main reason
for these symptoms is the hormonal imbalance that goes on during
pregnancy. Bleeding gums during pregnancy are due to the increased
level of progesterone that makes the gums more sensitive with bacterial
plaque. Red and swelling gums are caused by increase blood flow that
out gums at risk of inflammation.

Superior oral hygiene is vital for pregnant women to avoid further
progression of plaque build-up and eventual bleeding gums. As everyone
knows, bleeding gums can signal gum disease, which is risky for
pregnant women. Gum disease are often linked to premature labor and
unhealthy childbirth.

For natural treatments of bleeding gums
during pregnancy, it is best to ask for your dentist’s help to avoid
health complications and risks. Using all natural dental products can
also help prevent side effects to you and your child.
