i recently found out that i had an 8 year low grade infection due to an abcess on a tooth that had a root canal. I had it pull and the infection is now gone. i have had a really hard time losing weight during the time leading up to the present and im wondering if it had to do with the infection and will i have better luck with weight loss now?
Hello:)Welcome to Chat Doctor. There is no relation between weight loss and tooth infection in your case. See your nutritionist for a diet plan which suits your lifestyle. Reduce calories which increase your weight and also decays. Go for a fiber rich diet. Include fruits and fresh veggies for meal. Get a dental checkup without fail every 6 months. Regards.
