Hi everyone

as many of you know, my son has Tourette Syndrome and Crohn's Disease.
He has been doing really well in both areas until a sudden flare up of everything last week which really puzzled us!

well, yesterday one of his physicians noted that there is swelling in the wisdom tooth zone of his gums!! No tooth problems yet tho

Now the extraordinary thing about this is that, since infancy, my son has always had health issues (specifically digestive system, tho also temprament and tics) whenever a tooth is coming out or in, and also whenever he has had dental work. When he was a baby, I could usually predict a tooth coming thru long before it appeared, just by his tummy changes

I realise this is not unique to my son, and that our teeth and gums have a lot of impact on the rest of our system....
It just struck me again yesterday how much impact this can be in especially sensitive people like my son, considering the intensity of the flare up in both tics and Crohn's symptoms that he has had these past few days.

So I am now spending a bit of time researching just how and which teeth impact the organs, tissues etc and it is fascinating stuff. Had I not experienced this so directly with my son I would likely have been sceptical

I would be interested to hear any other experiences and viewpoints on this
