Has anyone had troubles with your teeth after taking thyroid meds? Mine is now gone [thyroid] but so of most of my teeth-come to find out that the dentist and pill companys already knew this. Just thought people may like to know... seagrass

there is nothing about taking thyroid hormone that would affect the teeth, assuming you are taking the right dose for the right reason. It's possible that being hypothyroid, which would have occurred if your thyroid is "gone" as you say, could have affected tooth growth. But, basically, thyroid hormone, even the synthetic form, simply replaces a natural hormone, and has only the side effects that would come from taking too much or too little.
