Text messages to keep gums healthy during pregnancy
Part of Mouth & dental, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if simple text messages can help pregnant women keep their gums healthier. If you are in your 2nd trimester and have gingivitis (bleeding gums), you may be able to join and get supportive texts during pregnancy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have gingivitis—meaning your gums bleed easily when brushing or flossing in more than 1 out of 10 spots.
