Hyperthyroidism
-Hyperthyroidism can exacerbate the patients response to dental pain and anxiety. -Routine examination of the head and neck may disclose signs of thyroid disease, including protrusion of the eyes, excess sweating, enlargement of the thyroid and difficulty in swallowing. -Patients may have increased susceptibility to dental caries and periodontal diseases.

If
hypoparathyroidism occurs when teeth are still developing, there will be abnormalities in the appearance and eruption pattern. There may be enamel hypoplasia, and poorly mineralized dentin. Other dental findings include malformed teeth, anodontia, short blunt root apices, elongated pulp chambers (some occluded by pulp stones, even in the primary dentition), impacted teeth, and mandibular exostoses. If hypoparathyroidism occurs after dental development, there are no abnormalities seen in erupted teeth.
