A member asked:
Is it possible for impacted wisdom teeth or tmj to cause an enlargement of thyroid on one side? its not large enough to be visibly noticeable however?

No. Teeth nor TMJ affect the thyroid gland. You may have an enlarged lymph gland. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Enlarged thyroid can be caused by cavities and gum disease, not impacted wisdom teeth. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause other problems such as cysts and pain, better off having them removed.

Not caused by TMJ or impacted wisdom tooth. May be caused by cavities, but more probably le from thyroid disease. See your General Physician or specialist Endocrinologist re:thyroid. See General Dentist Re: general oral health. You need to be physically examined.
