There can be alterations in your gums because of hormonal changes during pregnancy. Please go for a check up to a near by dentist. You need scaling and polishing for bleeding gums. Avoid any other treatment until delivery. Hope you recover soon.

U need to go for scaling and polishing so that we can avoid bleeding of gums and then we can take x-rays of the root canal treated tooth and let us know the inner condition of the tooth and then we can repeat root canal treatment and can fix a cap . Don't worry we have lead aprons to avoid exposure of x-rays to ur child. But we need to do the treatment without it u will have lots of pain and that is also not good for ur newborn child.....

Hi. You are into early third trimester. So we prefer to do treatment that's an emergency . In your case, if the pain is severe, you will need to see a dentist since you have around 2.5 months before you deliver. If the tooth which was rc treated is paining, you need to get a check up done to confirm the exact cause. Bleeding gums is common during pregnancy, because of lots of hormonal changes . Its recommended to visit a dentist in 2nd trimester to get a cleaning done.
