Since the condition of the mouth mirrors the condition of the body as a whole, your dentist may be the first health care provider to see signs of a health problem. If something out of the ordinary is discovered, a follow-up with your physician may result in early detection and successful treatment of a more serious medical problem. So, if you know you are at risk for certain illnesses, such as heart disease or diabetes, be sure to inform your dentist.
