A member asked:
My thyroid has increased in size, my teeth are breaking all of them why is this happening?

Not related: Your thyroid issue has very little effect on your teeth. Your teeth breaking down is probably related to age, health of gums, and oral care and diet. Keep seeing your dentist for cleanings and needed care. You can maintain your dentition and oral health. Good luck.

Not related.: Thyroid not related to teeth. See dentist for dental problems.

Unrelated: Separate and distinct, though coincidental, problems. Thyroid enlargement requires treatment. See your General Physician, ENT, or an Endocrinologist. Teeth breaking may be due to large old fillings deteriorating, previous fracture of teeth from trauma, hard foods, etc. Call your Dentist for an evaluation and treatment.
