Gum and tooth pain during pregnancy is not uncommon, but discomfort is usually a symptom of a more serious underlying dental condition. According to the American Academy of Periodontology, roughly 50 percent of all pregnant women develop gingivitis, or an inflammation of the gums. Left untreated, gingivitis can lead to more severe periodontal disease, causing uncomfortable tooth pain and possible tooth loss.
Pregnancy-related tooth pain is often the result of sensitive gums. Upon observation, gums appear red and swollen. You might also notice that gums bleed easily when you brush and floss. Teeth will feel loose as the roots begin to deteriorate. Hot and cold foods may also bother you more during pregnancy. The American Dental Association reports that although these symptoms generally disappear after delivery, overall oral health might not fully return to its pre-pregnancy state.
This procedure can help to alleviate most painful symptoms. If dental work is necessary, the second trimester or first half of the third trimester is the ideal time. This reduces risk to the baby and makes lying down through the procedure as comfortable as possible for you.The best way to avoid gum and tooth pain during pregnancy is to practice good oral hygiene. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush to gently clean your teeth and gums after every meal.
