Does losing a teeth can prevent to pregnancy?

Possible: During pregnancy the hormones levels get out of balance. Women can experience swollen and bleeding gums and if they had gum issues prior to becoming pregnant this can result in tooth loss. You need to maintain good oral heath during pregnancy tp prevent this.

No, but......: Two completely different and separate "systems" of the body. But. - if you are losing many teeth due to uncontrolled periodontal disease or severe bone loss concurrent with diabetes, or have other medical conditions, then that oral-systemic link could be involved with problems during pregnancy. Talk to your medical doctor if you have questions or need further information regarding pregnancy.

No: It might influence access to activities that lead to pregnancy but loss of teeth will not affect the fertilization process directly.
