Is Menopause A Cause For Brittle Teeth?

I am soon to be a 55 yo female, and just a year into menopause. Am curious if it is normal that my teeth are suddenly cracking. I have just had chicken wings while at dinner and just had a rear upper tooth crack? I also had a right lower tooth crack at the base of the tooth? Please help
