Everyone is prone to gum swelling and pain, and for ordinary people, once they experience gum swelling and pain, they will definitely take medication to treat it. But for pregnant women, there are always great concerns before using anything. So, can pregnant women use mouthwash for gum swelling?
Pregnant women with gum swelling can use mouthwash and purchase specialized products for pregnant women. At present, there are mainly two types of mouthwash for pregnant women: strong and weak. Strong mouthwash needs to be diluted before use, while weak mouthwash can be directly used for rinsing. Pregnant women using mouthwash can clean their mouth and prevent diseases such as periodontitis, effectively relieving discomfort caused by gum swelling and pain.
Secondly, some mouthwashes are not used for medicinal purposes. They are simply hygiene and disinfection products that can only have a disinfecting effect and cannot have any other effects at all. Therefore, even after using it, pregnant women still cannot improve gum swelling and pain, and it may even become more severe. Therefore, it is still necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner, find the cause and seek treatment.
Finally, pregnant women need to pay attention that mouthwash cannot replace toothpaste for brushing teeth, and it is not recommended to use it for a long time. If you want to use mouthwash with anti-inflammatory effects, you still need to consult a doctor's opinion. Remember not to use it blindly, so as not to have adverse effects on yourself and the fetus in the end.
