I am having some bloodwork redone next week as my initial bloodwork shows a higher white cell count of a little over 14 & they said it should be in the 4 to 10 range. I know there are a variety of reasons for a higher white cell count. I recently quite smoking which I read can contribute. I know that some type of infection in the body can cause higher white cell production. All I can think of is that I have continual problems with my teeth. I had one tooth pulled a few months ago & I have two others that are not in good shape (but cant afford to have them pulled/replaced at this point), and my gums bleed quite easily. Could bad teeth elevate the white cell count? Thank you
As such bad teeth in shape or other way don't affect blood WBC count. But if you get infected then definitely it affects blood WBC count, and it goes on higher side. Smoking is definitely injurious to health. But it has no direct impact on WBC count. If you SVD teeth infection then take treatment of that.AMD then feasible replace that.
