Bleeding 🩸 gums 😢

Is it normal to have bleeding 🩸 gums while brushing teeth every day ? I’m bit concerned now because it’s been going on ever since the beginning of my pregnancy until today and I’m currently at 20 weeks. It doesn’t hurt and I brush ever so lightly cos I was afraid as it tends to bleed alot. Previous appointment doctor told me nothing to worry, today another doctor said there might be an underlying issue. I just don’t want it to harm the baby you know... any moms experience this please share with me how u treat it?

Congrats on your pregnancy! It is not uncommon to have bleeding gums due to hormonal changes. I did have more sensitive gums. I also do see a dentist every half a year and continued to do so during my pregnancy. The dentist advised to maintain general oral hygiene practices, which are brushing and flossing. She's a female dentist, Dr Pong, at Unity Denticare mid point orchard. Do consider seeing a dentist if you're concerned. Oral health is also important!
