What reason is pregnant mouth has blood smell?

summary

After 2 months of pregnancy, pregnant women often have obvious gingival bleeding. Gingival bleeding of pregnant women is caused by the increase of progesterone (also known as progesterone) content in pregnant women and the increase of oral blood supply, which leads to gingival capillary dilation, bending, weakened elasticity, blood stasis and other reasons. But rest assured, the vast majority of gingival bleeding will disappear after delivery. What reason is pregnant mouth has blood smell? I'd like to share my views with you.

What reason is pregnant mouth has blood smell?

If some pregnant women usually have mild gingivitis and periodontitis, when the estrogen in the body increases, the gingiva is more sensitive to the bacterial reaction of plaque. Gingival inflammation, bleeding symptoms will increase.

Some pregnant women's gums may also grow benign small lumps, bleeding when brushing. This mass, which is rare, is called a "gestational tumor of the gingiva" or "benign granuloma.". The name sounds scary, but it doesn't hurt, and it usually doesn't hurt.

Gestational tumor often appears in the site with gingivitis, it can grow to about 1.9 cm, generally disappear after the baby is born. If it doesn't disappear, it needs to be removed. If the pregnancy tumor makes you feel uncomfortable, affects your chewing and brushing, or starts to bleed heavily, you can remove it during pregnancy.

matters needing attention

1. Change a soft hairy children's toothbrush, the head of children's toothbrush is smaller, and the texture of soft hair can reduce the damage of toothbrush to gums, and effectively solve the problem of gingival bleeding. If conditions permit, you might as well choose an electric toothbrush, which can effectively massage the gums, reduce about 60% of the brushing force, and reduce the bleeding degree of gingivitis by 62%. 2. Choose toothpaste containing fluoride, but it's better not to exceed 1cm each time, and use toothpaste with high fluoride content or unclear label carefully; Some medicinal ingredients in medicated toothpaste can harm the fetus, so it's better to ask the doctor before use. 3. Brush teeth with vertical brush. Brush teeth gently and thoroughly. Don't use too much force. Too much force will damage the fragile gums and cause gum bleeding. 4. Brush your teeth after every meal, preferably within 20 minutes after eating or drinking. If not, brush your teeth at least twice a day. 5. If there is gingival bleeding after brushing, dissolve some sea salt in warm water to gargle.
