Abstract

Oral health care providers should obtain comprehensive medical records from patients with hyperthyroidism before dental treatments. Graves disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. Untreated hyperthyroidism can lead to dangerous adverse effects, such as coma or death. Recognizing early signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism is crucial in reducing complications.
