Got my first cavity ever after I got pregnant. Waiting until baby is out to get it filled.

My MIL told me she got 3 or 4 cavities when was preggers with DH! That scared me enough to even wake up and brush &amp; floss even if I fell asleep earlier. I still need to go in to the dentist for a cleaning &amp; check-up though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-gain-a-child-lose-a-tooth-or-get-a-cavity-apply-to-you#post-563630 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:17:37 +0000 cascademom 563630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure how to reply because I had a filling break a couple of weeks ago. Admittedly, I didn't take the best care of my teeth during maternity leave. I had the filling fixed, but haven't had a regular checkup in some time. After my filling broke, I'm making sure to take my calcium supplements. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-gain-a-child-lose-a-tooth-or-get-a-cavity-apply-to-you#post-563625 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:15:04 +0000 sera_87 563625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It happened to my mom - she nursed 2 babies &amp; lost 2 teeth.

So far I haven't had a cavity or other issues. My gums are definitely more inflamed than normal, but that's about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-gain-a-child-lose-a-tooth-or-get-a-cavity-apply-to-you#post-563608 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:10:05 +0000 rachiecakes 563608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@berdine: I went to the dentist twice while I was pregnant (my 6 month appointments just ended up being scheduled that way.. one early, one 6 months later) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-gain-a-child-lose-a-tooth-or-get-a-cavity-apply-to-you#post-563605 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:09:16 +0000 rachiecakes 563605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I answered yes - because a wisdom tooth popped through! I'm going to have to lose a tooth because now that it's above the gums, they want to take it out. booo.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-gain-a-child-lose-a-tooth-or-get-a-cavity-apply-to-you#post-563572 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:53:02 +0000 LaughLines 563572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the standard is to go to the dentist every 6 months - since you're pregnant about 9 months that's only once during your pregnancy, but do they recommend more to prevent cavities? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-gain-a-child-lose-a-tooth-or-get-a-cavity-apply-to-you#post-563569 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:52:19 +0000 T-Mom 563569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get any cavities, but I also have fallen off my normal cleaning schedule, so it's possible that I have issues I don't know about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-gain-a-child-lose-a-tooth-or-get-a-cavity-apply-to-you#post-563565 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:50:58 +0000 sorrycharlie 563565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No idea, I need to make an appt.

I'm so nervous of this. I have my first appointment since I've been pregnant next week, so we'll see, but I don't think I have any cavities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-gain-a-child-lose-a-tooth-or-get-a-cavity-apply-to-you#post-563554 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:48:37 +0000 autumnlove 563554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have heard of this but no cavities or tooth loss yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-gain-a-child-lose-a-tooth-or-get-a-cavity-apply-to-you#post-563551 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:47:55 +0000 lilyann 563551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to make an appt to find out but I am thinking I got one :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-gain-a-child-lose-a-tooth-or-get-a-cavity-apply-to-you#post-563548 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:46:43 +0000 cranberryapple 563548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you heard of this old wives tale, and did this apply to you? Did you get any cavities, or even lose a tooth? </p> <p>I don't know if it was the case that pregnancy hormones affect calcium absorption, or whether calcium is taken from us to give to the baby. </p> <p>Either way, I did end up getting a cavity! Sadness!! :( </p>
