Oral Health? Pregnancy changes my mouth, so gross! « Back to Group Discussions

[Detcb]

Hi! I am really hoping that I am not the only one with this.

I'm 8 and a half weeks and my mouth is really bothering me. My gums hurt all the time and my enamel is so soft and porous. Seems like anything I drink besides water turns my teeth colors. Tea stains them, even my blue tinted mouthwash makes them blue!

I'm pretty committed to oral hygiene. I brush, floss and use antiseptic mouthwash twice a day but still I have problems.

I feel like my teeth will fall out before the baby comes! It is much more drastic than my last pregnancy.

Anyone else? Have you found a product or routine that helps?

I always have dental issues in pregnancy too...bleeding/sensitive gums and sensitive teeth and I always end up with a few cavities after all is said and done.  I have asked my dentist if there is anything I can do and he has always told me that it is just a problem that some women have and never provided any solutions.  If anyone else has some input I'd be happy to hear it too!
