Can Low Grade Infection On Tooth Causes Weight Loss?
i recently found out that i had an 8 year low grade infection due to an abcess on a tooth that had a root canal. I had it pull and the infection is now gone. i have had a really hard time losing weight during the time leading up to the present and i'm wondering if it had to do with the infection and will i have better luck with weight loss now?

Hello:)Welcome to HCM.
There is no relation between weight loss and tooth infection in your case.
See your nutritionist for a diet plan which suits your lifestyle.
Reduce calories which increase your weight and also decays.
Go for a fiber rich diet.
Include fruits and fresh veggies for meal.
Get a dental checkup without fail every 6 months.
Regards.
