I got gingivitis due to my pregnancy and its only affected the left side of my mouth, due to this I have a headache on the left side of my head and my temples are throbbing just touching them is painful. My heart feels like its racing and I'm just over being pregnant. Not sure if I should go to the hospital (maybe I'm being dramatic) but I've been this way for 3 days.

Crunchy person advice here but have you heard of "oil pulling"? It's basically swishing a healthy oil (like coconut oil) in your mouth for twenty minutes in the morning. It sounds weird but it really helps. I had bleeding gums and such but with the oil pulling that went away. It also whitens your teeth for an extra bonus. Google it and see what you think! Could be worth a try at least! I say do it for at least 7 days and if you don't see any improvement, then you're no worse off, but it really might help a lot! Sorry you feel crappy!

Wow! I had no idea things like that could happen too. Thanks for the information. Lol I'll definitely be flossing more. I'd say definitely go to the dentist!

The back left side of my mouth had been hitting since yesterday.  I keep brushing thinking that something is stuck under my gums back there but it's not working.

My dentist said it's very common for women to get gingivitis because of all the hormone changes but that it usually goes away once the baby is born.

How do you get gingivitis from being pregnant? Honest question. Lol
