What to do if a pregnant woman has oral bleeding

Oral problems are a common problem, but when this problem happens to pregnant women, people have to pay extra attention to it. After all, it is related to the health of the baby. But what should pregnant women do if they have oral bleeding? If you treat it, you may be worried about the impact on the baby. If you don’t treat it, the adult will suffer and won’t be able to eat well and supplement nutrition. So today let’s talk about what to do if a pregnant woman has oral bleeding?

There are many reasons for bleeding gums. Due to changes in hormone levels, pregnant women are prone to oral mucosal congestion, swollen and painful gums, pulpitis, etc. But no matter what the reason is, you should go to the dentist for a check-up as soon as possible. If the bleeding is caused by pulpitis due to tooth decay, some local emergency treatment can be done to delay the development of the disease, relieve pain and bleeding, and then complete treatment can be carried out after delivery; if it is inflammation of the gums or periodontium, some local treatment and medication can also be done to promote recovery; of course, if the bleeding gums are caused by abnormal coagulation function, local treatment must be carried out on the basis of systemic treatment.

The best time to treat dental disease during pregnancy is between 4-6 months of pregnancy. At this time, the important organs of the fetus have been formed and will not affect development. In addition, the uterus is relatively stable and is not prone to miscarriage, so treatment is relatively safe.

Pregnant women with bleeding gums can solve this problem in three steps:

Method 1: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush, avoid brushing your teeth horizontally, and use vertical brushing to prevent irritating your gums and causing bleeding.

Method 2: Pay attention to balanced nutrition and supplement vitamins and calcium. If you are deficient in vitamin C, in addition to taking vitamin C tablets under the guidance of a doctor, you should also pay more attention to supplementing your diet with foods rich in vitamin C and eat more fruits and vegetables.

Method three: Some pregnant women usually have mild gingivitis and periodontitis. When the estrogen level in the body increases, the symptoms of gingival inflammation and bleeding worsen. If it is gingivitis or periodontitis, you must take anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor and go for follow-up visits as ordered by the doctor. You cannot stop taking the medicine at will.

The above tells you the causes of oral bleeding in pregnant women and what methods to use. I believe that it will be helpful for friends who have this problem. First of all, you can only pay more attention to oral hygiene, and then of course eat more fruits and vegetables. If the pain is severe, you must go to the hospital to see a doctor and take medicine under the doctor's guidance. Never take medicine casually.
