Tooth and/or gum pain...is it due to my pregancy?!
Question: I am 5 months pregnant and I am healthy, taking my vitamins, and everything is normal. However, the last couple of days either the tops of my top/front 8 or so teeth or the bottoms of my gums near those teeth are sore - I can't really tell which. The gums are not red or swollen that I can tell. Also, my gums are not bleeding when I brush my teeth.
Is this normal? Has anyone had this? I know that pregnancy can cause tooth/gum changes but there is usually swelling or blood involved, right?

the problem you are suffering from is generally called pregnency gingivitis and is a result of hormonal changes occuring during pregnency,blood and swelling involvment is no compulsory. i dont think there is anything to panic.dr.kapil garella
yep it's tha baby. Make sure you keep brushing anyways caz bad oral health leads to early labor and other scary things. Just use toothpaste for sensitive teeth.

No it is not normal. Brush and mouthwash with Hydrogen Peroxide to heal them up. Two or three times a week will keep your gums healthy.
