Loose teeth due to period?!


Question:

Loose teeth due to period?

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.

Answers:

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 & 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.
