In this segment Dr. Katie To explains that a hidden infection in the jaw—often a cavitation—acts as a continuous, 24/7 drain on the body’s systems. Because the infection is deep and not visibly swollen, patients may not notice localized pain, yet the pathogen and inflammatory by‑products enter the bloodstream constantly. This chronic systemic load manifests most commonly as persistent fatigue, brain fog, and anxiety. Dr. To notes that these symptoms can also be linked to subtle airway or breathing issues, but the underlying driver is a hidden chronic infection that keeps the body in a state of chronic inflammation and perpetual fight‑or‑flight.
