Does lactating affect you teeth? I noticed after my daughter was born when I started nursing her that my teeth began to be very sensitive. I've been nursing her for 3 years. I know that from research I've done that lactation affects your bones. There are a number of studies that show that bone density is reduced during lactation but once the child is weaned the density goes right back up to normal or thereabouts. When I've even begun to mention this to dentists they've often even interrupted me to tell me that this is non-sense. I haven't found any evidence of even any studies being done on this subject so how can they know anyway. My question is - is this even remotely possible?
A number of women who I am friends with who have nursed have ALL experienced the same thing. Some of my friends who haven't nursed didn't have any trouble. It just seems to be a pattern to me.
I am careful with my teeth, brushing twice daily with Sensodyne, and rinsing with Act. I sometimes don't floss more than once every other day but I try to at least do that. My teeth haven't been sensitive since I switched to the Sensodyne and my nursing reduced to about once a day.
