Pregnancy Gingivitis
Understanding and treatment of pregnancy gingivitis at Albury Wodonga Orthodontics and Functional Dental.
Pregnancy Gingivitis: A Common Concern
Pregnancy gingivitis is characterised by red, swollen, and tender gums during pregnancy. Due to hormonal changes, expectant mothers may experience increased susceptibility to gum disease. At Albury Wodonga Orthodontics and Functional Dental, we understand pregnant women’s unique dental challenges and provide compassionate, personalised care to manage pregnancy gingivitis.
Understanding the Impact of Hormonal Changes
During pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations can change the body’s response to plaque, the sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth. This can result in an exaggerated inflammatory reaction in the gums, making pregnant women more prone to gingivitis. Our Albury Wodonga Orthodontics and Functional Dental team educates patients about the impact of hormonal changes on oral health and empowers them with proactive strategies to address pregnancy gingivitis.
