Help!!!
For the last week or so my gums are getting really inflamed on and off around certain teeth, some of my teeth are collecting more plaque than usual and i cant get rid of it. My jaw bone kinda aches but only on the odd occassion
What should i do?
Is anyone else experiencing the same thing during their pregnancy?

Teeth n gum problems r quite common in pregnancy thats y in UK we get free dental appointments, so worth going dentist
