Question

The other morning I woke up with a swollen gum around one tooth, it went down abit after brushing my teeth and I just ate dinner and it’s now throbbing, is it normal? 
I’m also 6 weeks pregnant

Answer

Sounds like and abysses bc your having pain around one tooth. Have a dentist to look at it. In the mean time gargle with warm salt water and even amounts of peroxide and water to help kill the bacteria

Answer

I’m a dental hygienist, swollen gums are very normal in pregnancy with all the hormonal changes. It could simply be a gum irritation, if it was an abscess you would probably be in a lot of pain. Make sure to keep the area clean and floss if you can, try having warm salt water rinses if this doesn’t help minimise the swelling then definitely book in with a dentist for a more thorough look.
