Does anyone know if there's any evidence that ADT can thin your teeth, just as it can thin your bones (osteoporosis)? Since I began a two-year course of Zoladex 2.5 years ago, one tooth after another has cracked, necessitating implants. This may just be a sign of age and/or the effect of too much grinding, but I can't help but wonder if ADT can have the same effect on teeth as bones. I developed osteopenia in one hip during hormonal therapy, which also makes me wonder about a bone-tooth connection.

You are correct . Bones followed by teeth . Skin ,body hair we are being thinned out so to speak . Hang tuff jazzy. It all par for the course ! Keep swinging!🏋🏽♂️
Teeth are regenerated through saliva not osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
So it seems unlikely.
And they do crack with age.
But who knows.
And your implant specialist thanks you for your dollars
