Hypothyroid vs. Hyperthyroid
Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are two distinct thyroid disorders with opposite effects on the body. Hypothyroidism results from an underactive thyroid gland, leading to insufficient production of thyroid hormones. Symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and depression. In contrast, hyperthyroidism arises from an overactive thyroid gland, causing excessive thyroid hormone release. This condition presents with symptoms like weight loss, anxiety, rapid heartbeat, and heat intolerance. Hypothyroidism is commonly caused by Hashimoto’s disease or iodine deficiency, while hyperthyroidism is often linked to Graves’ disease or nodules. Diagnosis involves blood tests, and treatment aims to restore hormone balance through medication, radioactive iodine, or surgery, depending on the disorder’s severity.

Dentures and Dry Mouth
Dry mouth is a condition that involves the salivary glands not producing enough saliva to adequately keep the mouth moistened. This lack of saliva can alter the fit and comfort of dentures, since saliva helps dentures retain their suction and stay in place and also has a lubricating effect that keeps dentures from rubbing on the gums and creating sores. Those who take certain medications, are older, and use tobacco and alcohol are more susceptible to dry mouth. If you’re experiencing dry mouth symptoms as a denture-wearer, contact your denturist to discuss your options.
