It's important to realize that your dentist sees much more than just your teeth. Some health-related conditions that show up in the mouth include:
- diabetes
- oral cancer
- temporomandibular disorder (TMD)
- HIV/AIDS
- thyroid problems
- iron deficiency/anemia
- leukemia
- eating disorders (bulimia and anorexia)
Communication with your dentist is vital. During your visit, talk to your dentist about your ongoing health concerns so that he or she may help you. Your dentist may adjust your treatment if you have certain medical conditions, use certain prescription drugs or are currently undergoing medical treatment, such as radiation or chemotherapy. Your Dentist Sees More Than Just Your Teeth Your dentist plays a very important role in your health-care team. Dentists have the skills and the expertise - not only to treat oral health disease - but to help you with all of your oral health needs. It's important to keep your dentist up-to-date on your health and medications. Let's say you have a heart murmur, or have just had a hip or knee replaced. You may need antibiotics before dental work to reduce the risk of infection. Many dental procedures involve some bleeding of the gums and healthy blood clotting is important to recovery. Conditions such as liver disease and medications such as aspirin, blood thinners, and some herbal remedies may affect the ability of the blood to clot normally. Your dentist can also spot emerging medical problems. For example, the onset of bleeding from your gums may suggest the beginning of gum disease that could also be related to adult-onset diabetes if your gums have otherwise been healthy. Speak to your dentist about the relationship between good oral health and overall health.
