Gum health and thyroid markers in pregnant women
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at the health of your gums and how it relates to thyroid hormone levels during pregnancy. If you join, the dental team will check your gums and take some blood samples to measure thyroid markers, which may help understand pregnancy-related changes.
