It is not uncommon for pregnant women to be impacted by
bleeding or inflamed gums. This can also happen to women who are taking oral
contraception. It does depend on the type of birth control you are taking. If
you are brushing or flossing and your gums are bleeding, this is not something
to take lightly. Contact Dr. Rice and her team today to set up an appointment
for an evaluation.
Certain birth controls trick the body into believing it is
pregnant. This response can lead to an increase in inflammation and cause
bleeding when you are brushing or flossing. While this may not be cause to
worry, it is something you should not leave unchecked. You may also discuss
this with your doctor because she may be able to reduce the hormone levels in
the birth control you are consuming.
There is no reason why you should accept long term
inflammation and problems which can lead to more damage and eventually to
missing teeth. Bodies who fight constant inflammation may also notice an impact
to the major organs of the body. Asking
questions and getting an oral exam is a great way to determine if you have
periodontal disease, gingivitis, or if something else is going on. Ignoring it
is never a good option, because it can continue to get worse over time.
