Link between tooth infection and hair loss

Intersting article .This article in English from the University of Granada says that there is a sometimes a relation between infection on teeth and alopecia areata . When I saw my first patch I was told to visit the dentist , although I already thought that it was stress related. It is always a good thing to check . Professors José Antonio Gil and Antonio Cutando also advise going to the dentist when you notice localized hair loss, so you can get an examination of your oral health.

I have alopecia areata. Been fighting it for 6 mo. Original spots growing back but still more loss than I can keep up with. Have a long standing "bad" tooth. getting it pulled tomorrow after a root canal and crown a year ago. Any ideas if this will help?
