Bad teeth and thyroid

[DLA]

Had braces for 3 years when I was younger and learned to take REALLY good care of my teeth, and always have.  Have been prone to cavities anyway and b/c of brushing too hard have worn away gum at gum line.  Not major problems.  Until recently.  Tonight another huge piece of tooth broke off!  Have had to have one root canal b/c tooth was there and then suddenly fell apart and now I have 2 more that have done the same thing.  But I haven't even finished paying off dr for root canal and haven't gotten the crown for my root canal tooth b/c the dr cost me a fortune.

So am wondering if this is all b/c of thyroid?  They seem to be rotting from the inside out and I don't get it.  Is there something I need to tell the drs, dentists, or endo about this?  I take calcium most of the time, but have had a couple of kidney stones and am not real crazy about taking it in big doses.  

They don't even hurt until this falls off and then OW!  Am getting ready to take a pain pill and go to bed.

From what I've read on other boards, it seems to be farily common for thyroid folks to also have bad teeth.  I've got the same thing.  Take care of my teeth, gums are in great shape, but my teeth crack at the least little thing.  Mom says I have my grandmother's teeth, which makes me think maybe this thyroid thing didn't come out of the blue after all.

Hugs!
