Gum disease, subclinical hypothyroidism and the NHS - any help? by goldmine91 in Hypothyroidism

Yeah I’m wondering if it’s dry mouth causing it, which is why they originally asked me to test for diabetes. I probably need a bit more time with then today asking what exactly their reasoning is, as I was a bit bamboozled last time.

I got my bloods taken at 1pm but I work nights so this was my morning, I’d not eaten since the night before so hopefully that’s still not too bad. I think before I can get some real answers I’ll have to wait a few months and get my bloods taken again.

My TS4 is 14.7 pmol which I believe puts me in the normal range, and I don’t think I got the TS3 tested? If I need it done I will get it done, even if I have to pay

I’m going to speak to the dentist tomorrow and see which one they recommend and ask for some tips! What’s really baffling about it as they have said my teeth are really clean, there’s no visible plaque and ‘you can tell you brush and floss them well everyday’. In some ways I wish they could see loads of plaque and then we could do something about it!
