  When allergy season starts up in Fort Worth, people expect to see a variety of symptoms. They see itchy eyes, sneezing, stuffed up sinuses and congested nasal passages. One symptom that patients tend to be surprised about when they come into our offices however, is tooth pain. As a result, we see a number of patients each year who come in for what they think is an emergency, such as a cavity or infection, but it turns out to be a seasonal allergy causing referred pain. However, it is also important not to brush off tooth pain as "just allergies" because patients often come in for what they think is a cavity or infection, but it turns out to be an allergy. Knowing the difference can help you determine whether you can wait or if you should come into the office.   How Can Allergies Make Your Teeth Hurt?

When people think about autoimmune diseases, they often picture joint pain, skin rashes, digestive problems, or chronic fatigue. Few realize that the mouth is frequently one of the first places these conditions leave visible signs. In fact, dentists are often among the first healthcare professionals to notice changes that may point to an underlying autoimmune disorder.

Inflammation, along with loss of saliva control and other immune-suppressing drugs, can have devastating consequences for your teeth and gums. Understanding these hidden connections can help patients recognize warning signs early and prevent minor dental problems fro...

  For decades, these two areas of medicine, dentistry and digestive health, were distinctly separated. On the other hand, there is an emerging body of research suggesting more people than ever that the mouth and gut are rather more interlinked than we once suspected. Scientists now know that the oral microbiome and gut microbiome regularly exchange signals, influencing inflammation all over the body, as well as immune responses and other health impacts. This connection has led researchers to explore an important question:  Can problems in the gut affect the gums—and vice versa? Not just about  plaque  anymore – what happens in your gut might shape how your gums react. New clues point to digestion, food choices, even body-wide swelling as quiet players behind the scenes. Mouth troubles could actually signal shifts deep inside. Turns out, red or sore gums aren’t always a local problem – they might echo what’s unfolding elsewhere. The Mouth and Gut Are Part of the...
