Yet another paper which hints at quite a bit - bit then is behind a paywall.
If anyone has access, just knowing the outline of what they say could be very interesting. We have had many question the impact of thyroid issues on their teeth and dental treatment.

Abstract
The proportion of people over age 60 is growing faster than any other group. Many patients take several medications to manage multiple chronic medical conditions. Poor oral health is common and dental visits by patients over the age of 65 are increasing. The dentist must recognize that these medications may interact with dental treatment. This article reviews the top 10 prescribed drugs as listed in the IMS Institute national prescription audit in January 2015 and reviews the interactions between these medications and dental treatment. The medications reviewed include levothyroxine, acetaminophen/hydrocodone, lisinopril, metoprolol, atorvastatin, amlodipine, metformin, omeprazole, simvastatin, and albuterol.
