It sounds like you are experiencing the results of 'Pregnancy Gingivitis'. This condition
arises in many expectant mothers and consists of inflamed and puffy gums during pregnancy.
This inflammation can be controlled with dedicated cleaning of the teeth. During these
bouts of gingivitis, it is quite common for cavities to form in the pockets underneath the
gums. As the gingivitis later improves, the gums then recede to a more normal level,
exposing the cavities! I strongly recommend visiting a dentist as soon as possible to have
your cavities treated. Yes, you may certainly see the dentist while on high blood pressure
medication, as long as you inform him/her of your condition. I wish you well with
restoring your smile! |
