A growing body of evidence points to a link between iron-deficiency anemia and severe tooth decay. Whether the connection is correlative or causative is unknown, though both conditions are associated with poor diets and are more common in people living in impoverished environments and with underlying medical conditions.

Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Indiana University have found that a combination of an iron-oxide nanoparticle-containing solution called ferumoxytol and hydrogen peroxide holds promise for treating, preventing, and even diagnosing dental decay. The combination is an FDA-approved therapy for iron-deficiency anemia.
