Abstract

Thyroid gland dysfunctions can adversely affect patients' systemic health and well-being. Thyroid disease is the most common endocrine disorder. Recognizing early signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism is crucial in the early diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Oral health care providers must obtain comprehensive medical records from patients with hypothyroidism before dental treatments.

Keywords: Endocrine disease; Hashimoto thyroiditis; Hypothyroidism; Myxedema; Oral health care providers.
