Hello, I just visited the dentist last saturday, due to bad gingivitis on my lower front teeth . I found out i was also allergic to the toothpaste i was using. I just noticed a very small whole on my gum, with a black dot in it. I have a dentist appointment for next saturday, and Im pregnant. It doesnt hurt at all and pain has gone away. Should i be concerned or wait until next saturday
Hello, your clinical history and symptoms suggests you have developed gingivitis most probably due to hormonal changes in the pregnancy, such a condition is called as pregnancy gingivitis. The lesion you have developed with white hole on the gum is gingival abscess called pregnancy tumor which is usually seen in pregnant females due to hormonal imbalance. You need symptomatic treatment for maintaining the gum health, go for professional scaling and root planing by a dentist that helps in reducing inflammation. Mouth rinsing with lukewarm saline or antiseptic mouthwash helps in giving soothing effect to the gums and teeth. I hope this helps, take care.
