HOME CARE FOR HEALTHY GUMS
Home care to prevent
normal gum changes of pregnancy from becoming more unpleasant and severe
includes:
Eating more fruits and vegetables, which are rich in vitamin C. A calcium-
rich diet is also good for your teeth.
Swishing with an antiseptic mouthwash several times a day. Spit it out;
don't swallow it.
Using a soft bristle toothbrush that does not cause your gums to bleed.
Brushing more frequently, and certainly after each meal. Get used to
carrying an extra toothbrush and tube of toothpaste in your purse or briefcase.
Flossing regularly, at least once a day.
Considering the use of an ultrasonic toothbrush, which is more effective
than a regular toothbrush in removing plaque. It may also be friendlier to your
sensitive gums.
Avoiding sticky candy and other sweets. Toffee, figs, and other sticky
stuff is likely to collect in the swollen crevices of pregnant gums, so satisfy
your sweet tooth with less sticky stuff.
