Dentistry has the ability to deal with many symptoms that, at first sight, may appear to be unrelated to the mouth. A patient who, for instance, has chronic headache or migraine may really have a problem with his jaws.
Someone who complains of having a `metallic' taste in the mouth may have leaking fillings or a reaction between saliva and metals. An altered taste sensation may be due to a `coated' tongue, which may be indicative of an ongoing gut problem.
Tooth wear-abrasion and erosion-may be due to acid re-gurgitation from the stomach or a chronic grinding/clenching habit. Unsightly and uneven dentition may impact upon a person's self-esteem. Food debris and plaque deposits contribute to gum disease. All of the above are seen by dentists everyday.
