I never think of my antidepressant as a psych drug, what ever that means

As oestrogen levels drop off muscles may become lax, including the jaw line. Teeth: as with bones : need something to 'act' against which keeps the bone in the jaw healthy.

.
I get occasionally pains in the teeth, strangely yesterday evening it was 1 tooth at the bottom front. OK again today
