Has anyone been to the dentist for anything major reciently? Those darn scary news updates, that say bad dental care can cause your baby to stop growning, or premature deliveries... I do the 2x a day brushing, with the floss, but I wanted to go and get a good check up...

I need to go get a good check up also, that and ever since pregnancy my gums have been bleeding horribly. When I brush it groses me out because my gums bleed so bad :0(

Not that it's a good thing, but at least I not the only one having the bleeding gums too... I taught I had some disease... and got freaked a little... I don't want to switch to those stupid toothies, because they do nothing... Just have to stick through the bleeding I guess.

Thats what I am doing! Sticking through it. . .it groses my fiance and step kids out, they are like eeww your mouth is dirty, haa haa

*lol* Maybe you can use the toothies in between...

ladies! my teeth have always been ok but they started to bleed a bit while i brushed, it got worse i went to the dentist, turns out i hada bad gum disease they said it is more common in pregnant women im now getting treated for it, dont do what i did and avoid the areas your gums bleed when your brushing (even if the blood does freak you out) thats why mine got so bad. their has been a recent studie that shows gum disease has a link to premature babies but thats what a midwife told me. their is no medication to take for it, i had to use mouth wash, floss, and stear clear from OJ (coz of the sugar content) and sodas. you should really get a cheak up asap just to be safe, it can get ugly! =)

Thanks for the info Mandy, I will get it checked out! The good thing is I don't avoid the bleeding areas, I brush right over them!! :0)
