I am menstruating this week and I noticed this morning that my two front teeth move a bit when I try to wiggle them...not much but enough for me to notice. I have healthy teeth and gums and this is the first time I noticed this. Any info or experiences will be appreciated. Thanks.
Loose teeth due to period?
It is a hormone and gum ligament issue that some bodies go through during the menstrual cycle.
Some studies that have been posted on the chemistry change of a woman's body support the fact that some women's teeth can become loose --BUT here is the deal---your gums become boggy with the hormone shift and they can be very prone to bleeding. With this bogginess, the ligaments that attach to your bone may become loose %26amp; cause the mobility. See the site below for a report. When reading the article, also note that you do not have to be going through menopause to have these symptoms. Some young females also suffer from this problem.
Not all women experience this--those that do-- are not less healthy--but may suggest that their bodies need mineral and CoQ enzymes to help the tissue during this hormone shift--Adding a higher concentration of certain minerals/vitamins during your cycle can help improve and stop this problem-- I apologize that I am not sure of the exact minerals to add to your diet-except Co-Q enzymes. See your nutritionist, M.D. or OBGYN for help on this further.
It is temporary and not advisable for you to flex the teeth back and forth. Keep the smile ultra clean---brush, floss, rubber-tip the gums and rinse with an antimicrobial rinse--Rx from your dentist.
Take your vitamins and also connect w/your professionals, M.D.s and your dentist for other facts and tips.
Reply:This has nothing to do with your period. Losing teeth is not a side effect of PMS. Stop wiggling them, or they may get looser. Is there another reason they could be loose? Drug use, not enough calcium and eating disorders are just a few reasons people lose their teeth, even if they brush and floss and all that. If you're concerned, visit your dentist.
Reply:I think you do need to see your dentist. This has nothing to do with your period. It could be that you have gingivitis or gum disease the best thing to do is to see a professional.
Reply:It could be periodontal disease. Sometimes it goes unnoticed for a long time, even with regular dental visits. Ask your dentist to check for it specifically.
Reply:Better get that checked out. I had something like that and I didn't think anything of it so I didn't do anything about it. I just figured it would go away but it didn't. My teeth got looser and I just couldn't stop fiddling with them cuz they moved fairly easy. When they got so loose I could move them quite a bit with just my tongue I started to get scared they'd fall out. But I still didn't tell my mom cuz I was afraid she'd be mad at me for letting my teeth get so bad. Finally I lost a front tooth and my mom took me to a dentist. He said I had advanced perio problems and a lot of my teeth were too far gone to save. I was only 15 and ended up losing all of my teeth. It might not be the same thing, but I wouldn't take a chance.
