not a symptom, but a trigger or risk factor - dental trauma can be really painful and becomes psychological trauma if severe enough
especially if someone was already predisposed to anorexia/bullimia, something like severe jaw pain can indirectly trigger a clinical eating disorder. the point is that all health is intrinsically linked and not neatly cordoned off into “dental,” “regular,” and “vision.”
Do you have any idea how much of aging for example, is just permanent damage stacking up from our unhealthy modern lifestyles?
Sure, you can see tribesmen shriveled up, that exists to. But back pain? Reflux? Cognitive decline? All side-effects of anything from horrible air quality (COPD, Pulmonary fibrosis, higher dementia risk), the worst kinds of slop food, getting overworked until your knees fall out.
None of this is trully necessary. If everyone cared for each other, we could automate a good deal of work, while still providing for humans.
But we live in a world of selfishness, contempt, and ignorance.
What eating disorder is a symptom of an untreated broken tooth?

i do have any idea of all of this unfortunately, public health is one of my special interests
Ooh! Do tell!
Probably meant anorexia from not being able to eat. It’s not really the same thing, but not eating is not eating.
