Hi
I'm a 5-month pregnant woman. I've always had perfect teeth. Recently I've noticed bleeding of gums while brushing my teeth. And also most of the teeth are getting decaying too. I did a research on it and, happened to read a blog of a dental clinic in Burlington. It says that "As hormones change during pregnancy, there can be increased risks to your oral health". Is it true? Is pregnancy would be the reason behind my dental issue?

Yes, I believe so. I read that hormones contribute to bleeding gum and also remember you're losing calcium which is very important for healthy teeth.
I told my gynae about my bleeding gum and she asked me not to skip my calcium supplement. At the early third trimester, the bleeding gum stopped. Maybe because hormone changed again.
