Your Teeth- Window to Your Health
Do you think your dentist is just checking your mouth and teeth during a check-up? No, he is also looking for other symptoms.
There are various health-related conditions that can be seen in your mouth such as diabetes, oral cancer, AIDS, thyroid issues, anemia, leukemia and eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia. The dentist can easily make out if you are suffering from any of these.
If you are experiencing any discomfort due to the above ailments, let your dentist know about it. He will adjust the treatment accordingly and also change the drugs that suit your current medical treatment.
