Is anyone else having serious mouth pain? I should say that I have very sensitive gums to begin with. But this is another level! I’m already planning to go to the dentist but man, this sucks.
I also know that this is common in pregnancy but ugh.

Mine got SO bad at 20 weeks. They were so inflamed, I could barely see my bottom front teeth!!
I sucked on a lot of ice, brushed my teeth and flossed more often, nothing really helped. It was like that for about a month. They're still inflamed and sensitive, but less painful at this point. Sorry, mama!

ugh. I floss, brush and do all of that. Just so painful and annoying. I’ve been eating softer foods. Just hoping everything’s all good.
I know gingivitis is common in pregnancy but I’m trying everything I know of.
😩

I just got a gum infection and abscess 🥲 it’s soooo painful and I think it’s from using the water pik the high pressure opened up my gums and made them super inflamed but I was trying to help them heal because I have bad bleeds where I can’t even get a cleaning done anymore 😭 from years of smoking and acidic drinks on top of not getting regular mouth maintenance done it’s gotten really bad! But I hate having to take antibiotics and Tylenol while I’m this far along! 27 weeks today

Week three of the same nightmare, only happening where I had dental work/caps. Awful.

I floss every day to every other day right now.
I’m glad you found something that helps!

ugh! Ouch.

I haven't been able to eat like normal since i think 20 weeks my teeth got so sensitive and I still try to avoid rough stuff
