I'm anemic and have low iron so my gums bleed just by touching them lightly with the toothbrush or even my finger.. they bleed a lot.During 10 and 11 weeks, brushing my teeth made me gag to the point where I couldn't stop so I eventually puked.If you have a gag reflex,it becomes extra sensitive while pregnant.

In order to get on top of this, brush twice daily, use interdental aids between the teeth such as floss and use a mouthwash at a seperate time to brushing.

Hello Dr,
I just noticed my gums bleed only during brushing. But bleeding stops immediately after brushing. I don't have bleeding gums always and my gums didn't bleed before i kissed the dancer. Is there any HIV exposure?. Please advise.
You are not worrying to much-this is something you have to take care of ASAP. I've had gum surgery and my gums bleed daily (sometimes without brushing) and I'm going to make a dentist appointment tomorrow. I have a friend who had to remove all his teeth and get fake ones in....painful and expensive. the longer you wait-the more money you'll be dishing out.
Get to a periodontist ASAP-at least that's my suggestion.
I have a nodule on my gums. I had to get an antibacterial rinse from my dentist to keep it from getting infected. You might call your dentist and see if there is anything they recommend.
Pregnancy hormones increase blood flow which can make your gums very sensitive & bleed. I have one specific spot on my gums that I need to be careful of when I'm brushing because it will just bleed like crazy. It will get better once your little one arrives.
s blood supply increases to support baby and can occasionally over supply, causing gums to swell and bleed as well as nosebleeds. Even using a very soft bristled brush and brushing as gently as I can, my gums still bleed. Sometimes, I've even had them just randomly start bleeding on their own. It's not a huge deal and should go away after the pregnancy.
After brushing rinse with warm salt water.
Have your parents addressed this with your doctor or dentist? If they are shiny red it could be gum disease that doesn't bleed while brushing. Your gums should be a coral pink. Talk to your parents, they may have addressed this when you were younger and found it was nothing, and therefore no reason to mention it to you. But I would think since you had braces, your orthodontist would have noticed them. But talk to your parents about it.
