Bad teeth since birth?

Has anyone else had dental issues since giving birth? Someone mentioned in another thread about getting a root canal done. Before I got pregnant I had zero issues. Now  I need 2 root canals a couple of crowns and have a cavity. Does bad teeth happen with pregnancy or is it coincidental?

    Funny meeting you here! ;) I've always had bad teeth , ( only my molars) but they got even worse in pregnancy because your body gives everything to the baby.

    My teeth have been in some serious pain. Out of nowhere my wisdom tooth is pushing against my teeth and it feels sideways. DH says they will want to remove it, I hate people messing with my teeth. I think the wisdom tooth is just bad timing but I don't know about my other teeth.

    I've often heard that the baby can leach calcium from you, causing dental issues.

    Yea. LOs pedi told me to take calcium because it can happen while breastfeeding too. I still need to get some. lol

    I think I am going to start taking extra calcium. This dental work is costing me a fortune!

    Yes! I just spent 1300 OOP for a filling and 2 crowns.. And that is only the tip of the iceberg ! Thank goodness I have a root canal on almost every molar I have so I can stop getting the damn things! Now I just have to crown them all...

    I just found out yesterday that I need a root canal! I don't think it's baby related, but the timing certainly sucks.

    I just had a root canal and need 2 crowns. I get one today. These problems existed before my pregnancy. Then I got pregnant and chose to wait until after birth to take care of them. Dental work costs a FORTUNE!!!

    Same here, my hygienists told me that it is called pregnancy gingivitis...also that in the olden days women would lose a tooth per child lol (sorry, I imagined a lady with 5 kids)
    But yeah, I'm supposed to have a root canal done & a cavity too..and I had good teeth before :(
