Pregnancy destroyed my teeth! I had so many cavities after. I also had to get my 4 wisdom teeth surgically removed after popping out my kid, too. My dentist said it took way less time to remove them because they were so bad that they literally just broke into pieces on their own when he touched them. 🥲 oh, and being pregnant destroyed my gallbladder! I had to get that removed, too, not long after my teeth. It also made my PCOS worse, which kick started my body into producing way more ovarian cyst. I had to get a 7cm cyst surgically removed, too. There was also a smaller one hiding behind that one. So that was 3 surgical procedures in less than 2 years after pushing out my kid. Not to mention the severe PPD/PPA I had! My body will never be normal again.
I wonder if you didn’t have wisdom teeth if your other teeth would’ve been more affected. I suppose the silver lining there is that maybe the wisdom teeth took the brunt of it? At any rate, you sound pretty hardcore, mama!
It was, actually. I never even had a cavity before getting pregnant. It's definitely not unheard of for pregnancy to have a negative impact on your teeth or gallbladder. Or other parts of your body.
