If you're pregnant, your gums are reddened and swollen, and bleed lightly when brushing your teeth, you may have pregnancy gingivitis. During pregnancy, the hormonal balance changes; the vessels dilate and bleeding gums can then occur more easily. In addition, you may feel pain when chewing. The hormone change also changes the surface of the oral mucosa, which favors the accumulation of bacterial plaque and can cause problems in the oral cavity.
