Teeth suddenly breaking?

Well, I am on a lot of medications, I’ll have to enquire when I go home. Because if losing the bridge, I am wearing on my front teeth much more hence paying for an implant. I wish I could have at least two more but too expensive and I’m not convinced at 76 that I would ‘get my moneys worth’. I have to have this one so I can eat more comfortably though.

My front tooth broke off during the Pandemic. It wasn't decayed and there was no sign of gum disease.
The only expalnation was the many medications I was on and comorbidities may have been responsible.

It was awful as, I was shielding and it was too risky to have treatment initially.

I thought I had strong teeth but we’re on holiday and I’ve realised that two of my teeth have just broken off a chunk! Opposite sides of my mouth, one upper and one bottom. I haven’t got all my teeth as I’ve had a lot of work on them all my life, had a huge bridge in for years which packed up so I’m in the process of having an implant now. Neither of the broken ones are near the implant. I must have eaten something very hard but I didn’t notice the break at the time. Does anyone know anything about this? Am I short of some vitamin? I’m booked into my dentist when we go back but I’m very nervous about even eating crusty bread!
