I chipped a tooth tonight...never in my entire life has this happened!! Any correlation and teeth issues and BF with calcium being lower?? Between this, the fissure, and going back to work, I am a hot mess!!

    This happened to me too! The dentist told me pregnancy and BF both can be a cause.

    That is a myth that pregnancy or BF causes the calcium to be sucked out of your teeth. More then likely it is the dietary difference between pregnancy/BF (eating a lot of frequent meals) then before your pregnant (eating 3 meals a day). But pregnancy/ BF could cause gingivitis or perio (gum) disease because of the hormones in your body.  I am a Dental Hygienist by the way.
