Some women get swollen and sore gums, which may bleed, in pregnancy. Bleeding gums are caused by a build-up of plaque on the teeth. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can make your gums more vulnerable to plaque, leading to inflammation and bleeding. This is also called pregnancy gingivitis or gum disease. Your dentist will be able to help with this. Dental care is free during pregnancy and until one year after your due date. To get free dental care, you need to apply for a maternity exemption certificate (MatEx). Ask your doctor, nurse or midwife for form FW8.
Causes Of Excessive Salivation During Pregnancy: Excess saliva can be caused either due to the increase in production of saliva or due to decrease in your ability to swallow saliva. The hormonal changes that take place in your body during pregnancy can be one of the reasons for excess saliva. Vomiting or extreme morning sickness can be linked with the production of more saliva in early pregnancy. A condition known as hyperemesis gravidarum causes excessive vomiting and dehydration during pregnancy. This may also lead to a higher production of saliva in the mouth.
