Can Early Pregnancy Cause Sensitive Teeth
There is no clear answer as to whether early pregnancy can cause sensitive teeth. However, there are some theories as to why this could be the case.
One possibility is that pregnancy can cause a woman’s body to produce more of the hormone progesterone. Progesterone is known to cause a variety of dental problems, such as sensitivity, gum inflammation, and even tooth decay.
Another possibility is that the increase in blood flow that occurs during pregnancy can make the gums more sensitive. This increased blood flow can also cause the teeth to become more sensitive to hot and cold temperatures.
If you are experiencing sensitive teeth during pregnancy, there are a few things that you can do to help. One is to brush your teeth with a toothpaste that is designed for sensitive teeth. You can also try using a mouth rinse that contains fluoride.
If your sensitive teeth are causing you a lot of pain, you may want to talk to your dentist about getting a custom-made mouth guard. This mouth guard can help to protect your teeth from the effects of progesterone and the increased blood flow.
