Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Gums During Pregnancy

I had a gum graf preformed on my bottom lower front teeth almost 4 years ago. I had calcium deposits removed and had the for bottom teeth bonded together. Well, I'm pregnant and have noticed that my gums bleed and are very swollen. I feel like there is something draining from them as well in the area that Graf was done. Was something done incorrectly? Do I have an infection?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bleeding form gums and swelling is because of the deposits and the hormonal changes during pregnancy. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated, you can get a scaling done. The draining from the grafted area can be pus discharge secondary to gum infection. Do not take any medicines without prescription by a dentist. do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
