Alopecia onset by a toothache?

Here's a quick bit about a recent discovery in the hair loss world:

A study conducted by professors Josè Antonio Gil Montoya and Antonio Cutando Soriano, of the Department of Stomatology at the University of Granada, shows that there may be a connection between hair loss and oral health. According to the research, hair loss caused by a tooth infection is not isolated to the scalp, and typically appears on a line projected from the infection. They believe that when the immune system attempts to fight the tooth infection, it mistakingly attacks hair follicles, causing the hair to fall out.
