What should pregnant women do if their gums are swollen and painful?

Almost everyone will experience swollen gums. As the saying goes, toothache is not life, but it can be fatal. If you can't eat or sleep well, it will slowly affect your energy and spirit, making your mental state worse and worse. Especially if pregnant women have swollen and painful gums, it will affect the development of the baby. Medication cannot be used at this time. So, what is a better way to solve the problem of swollen and painful gums in pregnant women?

Gum swelling and pain is a reaction of pregnant women during pregnancy. From the symptom point of view, gum swelling and pain must be caused by acute gingivitis. There are two possible causes of gum swelling and pain:

1. Due to tooth decay and acute pulpitis, the gums become red and swollen and cause severe pain;

2. Another situation is that upper respiratory tract infection and swollen lymph nodes can also cause acute pulpitis and cause swollen and painful gums.

Why is intravenous drip not effective for swollen and painful gums? This is because the power of anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics, whether taken orally or by intravenous drip, is difficult to reach the root of the tooth. The good news is that there are already biological therapies that can be taken directly through the mouth. The plant anti-inflammatory ingredients reach the tooth roots directly, so the effect will be more direct. Good for pregnant women too.

Swollen and painful gums in pregnant women are most likely pregnancy gingivitis, which is caused by the increase in female hormone levels, which aggravates the original chronic inflammation. It will subside or disappear on its own after giving birth. What you can do now is to buy some mouthwash and gargle. If the gums are obviously inflamed and hypertrophied or there is pus in the gingival pockets, you can rinse with saline and hydrogen peroxide, and apply some iodine glycerin. If the tartar is serious, it is recommended to go to the hospital for teeth cleaning after giving birth. Pay attention to oral hygiene and control plaque.

Whether during pregnancy or at normal times, you should pay attention to oral hygiene, brush and clean your teeth carefully, and finally wash your mouth every morning and evening. If you have eaten food with a strong taste, it is best to rinse your mouth with mouthwash. Only by cleaning can various gum problems be avoided.
