Hi,

I'm having a nightmare with my teeth at the moment. I know they say you lose a tooth for every baby but I've already had to get one pulled out. Another tooth broke about 3 weeks ago and then today I broke another one. I'm going to be gummy by the time I have the baby

Oh no, ouch. I had awful problems before with my teeth, Im hoping not to loose anymore as I have lost enough already, I have deff lost more teeth than I have had babies though lol.......

oh my god! You serious about losing a tooth every baby?!?? That's awful. I've had sore bleeding gums but didn't realize my teeth would fall out. Hope you don't have too many more probs Hun x

Definately book an appointment with your dentist. If you're in the UK, dental treatment is free while pregnant and a year following pregnancy so make the most of it by getting your teeth treated.

My gums bleed when I brush my teeth but that's as bad as it has gotten so far (touch wood).

do your teeth really fall out when your pregnant? my gums bleed hella bad right now started back in july it sucks

After 2 pregnancies I only have 9 teeth left total. I was in the middle of getting it all fixed when I got pregnant but it's major work and requires me being put under so I have been told to suffer through it until after the baby is born before they can finish the work. It's horribly embarrassing and it's part of the reason I had a hard time finding a job. Before my son I had lots of fillings in the back because weak/bad teeth run in my family big time. With my son, all the fillings fell out, then with my daughter it all got much worse. It took a while to save up money to get the work done and I was having it done a little at a time. Before this one i had just had a bunch of them pulled and they were working towards dentures but didn't finish. I've already been on antibiotics once so far this pregnancy for an abscess and on pain killers a couple of times from horrendous toothaches. Can't wait until I get to finish the work and smile again without covering my mouth!

Pregnancy is rough on your teeth though without a doubt.

YES! I thought I was the only one. Mine aren't falling out but the gum where my wisdom tooth is coming in has been swelling up all through the pregnancy and I can't even eat on that side sometimes. Another tooth just hurts for no reason on and off, so bad it's woken me up an infinite amount of times... I hope it goes away after baby is born!

My teeth are playing up too. They are more sensitive. If i eat chocolate myback teeth hurt! ......Strange!

lose a tooth for every baby!? omg.Mine bleed when I brush them now and they have been more sensitive but its too bloody expensive to even get a check up these days so am just leaving them be
