A loose or partially erupted tooth is worth taking seriously, especially with HS in the picture. Research shows that people with HS have a stronger reason to stay on top of their oral health, as there's a growing connection between HS and dental issues.

A myHSteam member shared: "I don't know why, but I've been having a lot of complications with my teeth — inflammation and needing to get teeth pulled."

Here are some warning signs to watch for that may mean things are getting worse:

- Bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth
- Fever
- Pain and sensitivity
- Swollen lymph nodes in your neck
- Swelling around the gum area

If left untreated, a dental infection can spread to other parts of the body, which can become serious. It's best to contact a dentist as soon as possible — this kind of issue is considered a dental emergency and isn't something that will resolve on its own.
