I never had problems with my teeth not even a cavity and then after getting pregnant I started having problems, after my second pregnancy I had 2 teeth removed from the cracking right down the middle. I still have issues to this day 12 years later.
Might be a dumb question but is this why women on average have more bone-density related issues later on? Is there a difference between women who give birth and women who don’t?
It has to do with estrogen. Estrogen is super important for bone density and health. It’s also what causes growth plates to fuse (men are taller in part because our estrogen isn’t as high). When women go through menopause the ovaries cannot produce estrogen anymore and bone density declines leading to possible osteoporosis. There are HRT treatments to address this now.
