A major shift in hormone levels can create changes to your oral health. Many pregnant women discover their normally healthy gums may start appearing red, swollen, or even bleeding when brushing. This isn’t anything to be alarmed about and you should keep up with your good dental habits, but a dentist visit is a good idea.
Plan on a visit to the dentist in your first or second trimester for comfort. Be prepared to talk about any morning sickness (frequent vomiting can erode your enamel), and problems with your gums.
