Pregnancy and Oral Health
Pregnancy is an especially vulnerable time for your teeth and gums. With pregnancy come a whole host of hormonal changes (increased levels of estrogen and progesterone). These changes in hormones translate to an increase in the plaque that builds up on the teeth. Plaque that is not removed can cause gingivitis and swollen gums that are tender and prone to bleed.
