Could treatments many people consider ‘normal' dental procedures, like root canals or mercury fillings, impact your thyroid healing?
This episode looks at how dental work might influence thyroid health. I’ll explain what mercury amalgams are, why some people feel better after removing them, and why others do not. We’ll also cover the debate around root canals and whether they can create ongoing immune stress. The focus isn’t on quick fixes but on helping you think through risks and benefits so you can decide what makes the most sense for your healing journey.
If your heightened antibodies haven’t budged despite your best efforts, this could give you a new angle to explore. Tune in now!
