Question:
I have a problem on the lower bottom of my gums. There a red big bump and it's like a loose gum. It bleeds very easily. I can't eat without letting the food touch that certain spot. I can't brush that spot and all I can do is pretty much floss there, but I have to be careful because it'll start bleeding and it bleeds for quite a long period of time.
This bump has been there now for a period of two months and I don't know what it is and it's really borthering me, but I am 5 1/2 months pregnant and I'm not sure if this might be the cause, but it seems way worst.. please HELP! Malissa in CA
Answer:
Malissa, you may have a pyogenic granuloma, common in pregnancy. You need to have it x-rayed and diagnosed and treated properly either by your dentist or an endodontist.
