Hormonal changes during pregnancy can affect gum health, leading to conditions such as pregnancy gingivitis. Common symptoms include swollen or bleeding gums, which can be alarming for many expecting mothers. Regular dental visits are important during this time, as they allow for early detection and intervention. In addition, comprehensive oral hygiene remains essential; brushing twice daily and flossing can help mitigate oral health issues.
