Caro, I understand that there might be factors inroduced during pg that will impact on teeth, but the fact is that pregnancy does not harm the actual teeth. Certainly can harm the gums though, hence that old wives taleIn the old days periodontal disease used to be quite rampant, and the theory was that each time a woman was pregnant her gingival condition would get worse and worse, therefore 'losing a tooth'. People still lose teeth all the time due to perio disease, so it's entirely probable that it happened years ago (unfotunately).
Having worked in the dental field for 10 years I have a particular interest in this
