I am anew mom and sincerely, my teeth are talking a toll on me. They have come from bad to worse. I have already gotten rid of two and a third one seems to be on the way. I have had bad experiences with root canal so I do not want to take that option. Do all mothers go through a hard time with their teeth when they are nursing their babies or is it just me?

Didn't happen with me, but apparently there are alot of moms who have tooth issues during pregnancy and while nursing. Are you getting enough calcium in your diet?

Dark leafy vegetables contain calcuium, There is also orange juice and soy milk now which contain calcium.

calcuium = calcium.

The weakening of the teeth usually starts as soon as a woman is conceiving. This is because the child needs calcium in order to have develop bones. As you know, calcium is the mineral that makes the teeth hard.
