About this episode

This episode discusses pyogenic granuloma, clarifying misconceptions about its occurrence during pregnancy and its presence in other contexts.

Pyogenic granuloma is NOT happening because of pregnancy. In pregnancy, the body is “overacting” and bring blood vessels to contain this plaque. That's why the lesion can be red, and elevated. But did you know the lesion can also happen, on your finger? Let’s learn everything about pyogenic granuloma (and why it’s also a bad name). #1 dental hygiene boards review: 🇺🇸 StudentRDH.com 🇨🇦 StudentRDH.ca
