What sorts of diseases/conditions can be diagnosed from a dental check up?


I've heard that the mouth reveals a lot of information about a person's overall health. Is it true that dentists can tell whether or not a person is likely to have HIV, or likely to have diabetes from a regular check up? What other sorts of diseases can dentists look out for?

Thank you.

Tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, syphilis, gonorrhea, and other veneral disease, AIDS, Crohns disease, leukemia, pulpal necrosis and dental abscess (multiple dental abscesses may indicate diabetes), aphthous ulcers, herpes, viral infections, etc., etc.

James M hit it on the head. My Dad was a Dentist and saw what turned out to be oral cancer in its early stages. So open wide when you get in that chair, it might be a life saver.

Chemical imbalances, cancer, any sort of infection, anemia, to name a few
