I would not encourage you to stop brushing your teeth. While sensitive gums and bleeding is a normal symptom of pregnancy, it sounds like your case is more pronounced than normal. I would suggest calling your OB/GYN and/or your dentist and getting suggestions from directly from them. Perhaps using a tooth brush (or simply your finger) along with a tooth paste made for sensitive gums will help. Obviously, avoid the gum area as much as possible.

Don't stop brushing your teeth! Apart from the massive acid damage that can be caused by food, there is the strong possibility of decay and losing teeth like this. Bleeding is normal - infact my first pregnancy symptom was bleeding gums. Visit your dentist who will show you how to care for your teeth.

It is a natural pregnant dinars have problems during your pregnancy does not happen to all pregnant women but it happens to some. The important thing is to go to the dentist, tell him how much time you are pregnant, taking any medicine if you have a healthy pregnancy or if there is any complication and it will help you with this problem. Do not leave for later, because dental health is very important for both the mother and the baby.

you can have some safe and usual tablets to avoid bleeding.Even if you have stopped brushing your teeth you must continue to clean yor teeth with some antiseptic liquid or cleaner or simply apply tootpaste over youe finger and clean your teeth slowly and carefully.You can even apply turmeric over it to stop bleeding or have a cup of milk containing turmeric.
