Menstruation brings several hormonal alterations to all our systems. It is reflected in our mood or physical development and can be observed in the mouth. The way to notice these is through the gums due to they are more vulnerable. The estrogens and progesterone produce a big quantity of blood flow in your gums because of that they are sensible and the appearance of plaque and bacteria becomes stronger. All these things cause your gums to get inflamed, swell and bleed, have oral sores, or swollen salivary glands.
During pregnancy, the changes are similar to the first one because the hormones are elevated. The principal symptom is gingivitis which is caused by enamel erosion due to nausea and vomiting. The gums in gingivitis are red, swollen, and irritable surrounding the base of the teeth so they tend to bleed when brushing their teeth.
