Had what was diagnosed as adult onset asthma for 5 years. Had all my rotten upper teeth pulled out in 5th year. Nine months later the asthma was gone- no coughing, no wheezing, no shortness of breath, no exacerbations. No more prednizone, antibiotics, kenalog shots, or inhalers. Is it possible the bacteria in my teeth was finding its way to my lungs?
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is possible that the infection in your mouth was affecting your respiratory function. Inflammatory factors that would have been released in association with infection could also have played a role in stimulation of your asthma. I hope this helps
