[|Human|] Hello,For half a year Ive had an enlarged tongue with fringed edges that made impossible for me to get my tooth bridge. My dentist has been bewildered and tried to find the reason for that. Two weeks ago, he suggested to check my thyroid function and see an endocrinologist, My physician dened my request for a referral because my January blood test showed TSH 3.702. I know I have had mild thyroid problems since  my 20ies. What should I do? I also have anxiety, depression, weight gain, constipation...
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for the query. Swollen tongue can be a result of either allergy, hormonal imbalances, amyloid deposition or Amyloidosis while fluid accumulation in tongue or side effect of medication can be causing the enlargement of tongue. So you should consult a Medicine specialist first and get evaluated so that appropriate investigations can be done to rule out the cause of the enlargement. Once the cause is identified then only treatment can be done. Let the tongue swelling be treated first, and then you can proceed for your dental bridge preparation. Hope this helps.
