Bleeding Gums And Plaque Build Up In Pregnancy. Reason?
I gave birth three weeks ago and throughout my pregnancy my gums bled. I noticed earlier my gums are white and starting to peel by my teeth. I also noticed more plaque buildup than usual and a small hole in one of my teeth by my gums. Could pregnancy have caused all this because I always brush and I never noticed this before
