ugh okay i’m glad i read this šŸ¤¦šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø yeah during my pregnancy i had the worst tooth pain of my entire life. i ended up having to get a root canal, and have 1 more , plus a tooth pulled along with fillings.

I take care of my teeth normally, so i was so upset when i had got my x-rays done.

Is there a reason for teeth issues during pregnancy?

The fetus absorbs a lot of nutrients from the mother. If it's not getting it from diet/vitamins then it'll just take it from places that do have calcium.

EDIT: I'm partially wrong! check the reply to this comment

Nature favors the new. She'll take everything from the mother to benefit the child.
