🦋 Thyroid disorders can affect dental treatment, bone healing and medication safety.
🔺 Hyperthyroidism may cause palpitations, heat intolerance, sweating, tremors, anxiety, weight loss and increased bone turnover.
🔻 Hypothyroidism may cause fatigue, cold intolerance, weight gain, dry skin, puffiness and, in severe cases, delayed healing.
Uncontrolled thyroid disease may influence bone metabolism and healing. In uncontrolled hyperthyroidism, adrenaline-containing local anaesthetics can increase cardiovascular risks, while severe hypothyroidism may increase sensitivity to sedatives and opioids. Treatment and anaesthetic choices should always be individualised.
✅ Share your medical history, medications and recent thyroid test results with your dentist.
✅ Confirm that your condition is controlled and follow your physician’s advice.
✅ Vital signs and drug interactions may need careful monitoring.
✅ Never stop thyroid medication without medical guidance.
✅ Postpone elective treatment if significant symptoms suggest uncontrolled disease.
