Why do some pregnant women lose their teeth during pregnancy?
I have heard of pregnant women having dental issues, but not losing their teeth. It would be smart to see a dentist and explain your situation, even if you are obviously pregnant, make sure the dentist is aware!
Reply:NEVER HEARD OF THIS MAYBE YOU HAD A LOSE TOOTH OR SOMETHING.
Reply:wow im 8 months pregnant and none of my teeth fell out..i mean i never heard of that..maybe you had something wrong with your teeth before you got pregnant..try to go to a dentist and ask..
Reply:Malnutrition. Bone loss is caused by the increased need of calcium. Get prenatal vitamins.
Reply:Lack of calcium it doesnt happen so much these days
Reply:I am a mother of four and never lost any teeth but my teeth became worse after every pregnancy. My dentist said it was from lack of calcium. My mother also had the same problem and ended up having her teeth pulled out. The baby needs so much calcium to develop and I guess I was not getting enough.
Reply:I worked as a dental assistant for two years and yes it does happen to a lot of pregnant women. You need to take in more calcium and see the dentist regulary before and after the birth. Take vitamins that your doctor suggests and when you do go to the dentist, do tell them you are pregnant also. :P You are going to have to look after your teeth a bit more than usual while you are pregnant.
Reply:Tooth loss that sometimes occurs during pregnancy is most often the result of either tooth decay or gum disease. Women are more prone to both of these conditions during pregnancy for a variety of reasons.





Hormonal changes during pregnancy make the gum tissues more susceptible to inflammation and bleeding. This condition is called “pregnancy gingivitis.”





More frequent eating patterns common among pregnant women, lack of thorough oral hygiene practices contribute to increased plaque formation, increased levels of gingivitis and tooth decay sometimes experienced during pregnancy.





There are other good reasons, beside your own dental health, to take extra care during your pregnancy. Some research suggests that serious gum disease (periodontal disease) is linked to premature birth and low birth weight.
