 When we do a visual examination of your oral cavity, we can spot signs of other diseases including digestive issues. The importance of oral health has been amplified by the discovery that what happens in your mouth, can be directly related to your overall health and in many cases, we can spot severe health conditions when you visit us for your regular checkups. Why Teeth are Important for DigestionYour teeth serve many purposes. One of the most important ones is chewing your food thoroughly for proper digestion. When you don't mush all your food up before swallowing, you could set yourself up for an upset stomach.Digestive Issues That Show in Your TeethThere are many issues related to your digestive system that can show up in your teeth.
Anytime you have a digestive issue, it's important to let us know. Our new patients fill out a health history form that allows us to know of any problems in their past or present. Even though you may think these questions have nothing to do with your oral health, it's crucial for us to understand why specific symptoms can manifest during an examination. |
