More info needed: Firstly, a heart attack does not weaken your teeth. The meds you are taking, what are they for? How long has it been since your last dental check-up and cleaning? If it has been more than six months, you are overdue. A healthy mouth will go a long way in keeping the rest of your body healthy. You'll need to consult with a local dentist to determine why your teeth are fracturing.

See a dentist: for comprehensive evaluation, x-rays and treatment plan for your individual preventive treatment. Make sure that your dentist always has an up-to-date list of all the medicines you take. It also should include vitamins, herbal pills and OTC medications.
