If you&#8217;re frowning, sad, or crying, people react far differently than if you&#8217;re beaming with brightness from ear to ear. Your smile (or frown) is the first, most obvious way people can assess your health by looking at your mouth. Your dentist has a ton of other health cues that can help her diagnose more serious situations relating to your entire body.<\/p>\n<p>When patients visit our&nbsp;Verdun dental clinic, we take time to evaluate their overall health, including cues their mouths provide that could be indicative of bigger damage.<\/p>\n<h2>HIV\/AIDs<\/h2>\n<p>People who have HIV or AIDs typically have a number of lesions inside their mouths. If your dentist suspects you might be a patient with either of these autoimmune diseases, she&#8217;ll likely explain why it&#8217;s important to get further testing right away.<\/p>\n<h2>Diabetes<\/h2>\n<p>Diabetics are often unable to battle infection like otherwise healthy people can. In the mouth, gum disease frequently acts as a sign. If you have trouble controlling your blood sugar levels, regular periodontal care is imperative to ensuring your mouth remains as healthy as possible.<\/p>\n<h2>Cardiovascular Disease<\/h2>\n<p>Many people are surprised to learn how much knowledge a dentist can have over patients&#8217; entire bodies. Oral bacteria, infections, and inflammation of the gum can certainly point to major heart problems, including cardiovascular disease, clogged arteries, and the potential for a stroke. Listen to your oral care provider. She&#8217;ll point you to the right facilities around LaSalle so you can take care of your entire body, from head to toe to heart.<\/p>\n<h2>Endocarditis<\/h2>\n<p>When bacteria flows from your mouth through your bloodstream, it often finds its way to the heart. Bad bacteria can attach itself to otherwise healthy tissues, damaging the heart&#8217;s walls and arteries.<\/p>\n<p>Regular dental checkups&nbsp;are imperative for a number of reasons. Besides the fact that it&#8217;s important to have fresh, clean breath and a mouth that&#8217;s free of disease, your doctor is also trained to be a proactive professional, who can help you identify and treat serious health conditions that go far below the gum line.<\/p>\n<p>If it&#8217;s time for you to make a dentist appointment, Dre Natalie Kadoch and the Centre Dentaire team will be happy to welcome you to their Montreal dental facility.
