Your gums become more sensitive during pregnancy. This can lead to bleeding, but the gums can also overgrow. This epulis was left untreated and ended up becoming an impressive size. It also ended up eating away much of the bone underneath the teeth. The patient was in obvious discomfort. A simple surgery removed it completely and as long as the patient’s oral home care is good it won’t come back. Thanks for the referral Dr Jatan Kothari.
