My gums are bleeding.?

last winter my gums started to bleed when I got pregnant and bleed really badly when I went through my miscarriage. Now my gums are bleeding the same way. I know it's not a gum infection, but I'm also fairly sure I'm not pregnant again. Does anyone know what this might be?

My gums are bleeding.?
It is normal for a woman to experience pregnancy gingivitis. Have you changed anything in your oral hygiene routine? If you are brushing 2x a day and flossing 1x a day you should have no puffy of bleeding areas. This could also be an allergic reaction... have you been eating anything out of the ordinary?
Reply:hormone changes can cause excess bleeding. you might be having a surge of hormones. http://www.perio.org/consumer/women.htm





however be sure to take better care of your teeth/gums during these times because you can also develop a certain kind of abscess referred to as a 'pregnancy tumor'.





be sure to see your dentist and hygienist regularly especially of this continues, it could be a warning sign of other concerns if it does not subside.





hope that helped!

Reply:One common cause of bleeding gums is a vitamin deficiency or a mineral deficiency, especially magnesium. I think your gums bled when you were pregnant because of the nutrients that the fetus used. Try going to a health food store and getting a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement such as Nature's Plus. Get a magnesium supplement too, since minerals are bulky and multi-vitamins don't usually have 100% of the minerals you need.





Hygiene can also be a cause, floss your teeth at least once a week (more is better) and rinse with Listerine afterwards.





Best of luck.
Reply:its either due to deposits tht we call calculus in dental terms or due to a deficiency.get a round of scaling aka oral prophylaxis done.if the bleeding still continues u've gotta get urself checked fer vitamin deficiencies or blood dyscrasias

2x a day for 2 weeks





it is proven that women's gums may be enflamed and or bleed a little when menstruating....probably the same thing with pregnancy. our hormones are crazy :)
Reply:persistent bleeding gums can be signs of gum disease or periodontal disease. this is high time that you consult a dentist. failure to treat this can make teeth start to fall out. do not forget to maintain practicing good oral hygiene like careful brushing and flossing. for more gum care tips visit http://www.themouthdoctor.com
