One trait your primary doctor and dentist have in common is their focus on fostering the best overall health possible. Therefore, when you visit for a dental checkup<\/a>, you should let your dentist in Dublin know about any changes in your health or other issues that may have arisen since your last visit. This will allow you to receive the most comprehensive and effective care possible. Continue reading to learn about the health factors you should be sure to mention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

New Medications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taking a new medication could possibly have an impact on your oral health. Some products cause dry mouth, tooth enamel erosion and gum recession. By letting your dentist know, special attention can be directed toward figuring out the healthiest solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High Blood Pressure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most prevalent cardiovascular issue that millions of Americans face, high blood pressure can be made worse if you have gum disease. You can usually expect your blood pressure to be measured at the start of your dental visit, but if you\u2019ve already been diagnosed with hypertension, you should let your dentist know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diabetes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because their blood sugar levels can be higher, people with diabetes are more susceptible to developing gum disease. The increased sugar in the bloodstream can make the mouth more acidic and contribute to rapid tooth and gum decay. If you\u2019ve been diagnosed with diabetes, you definitely want to make your dentist aware of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digestive Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is a definite connection between your oral and gut health. If you have a chronic digestive issue, it could contribute to enamel erosion and other issues. Thus, it\u2019s in your best interest to keep your dentist in the loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tender and Bleeding Gums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your gums are sensitive or easily bleed when you brush your teeth, it could be an early sign of gum disease (called gingivitis). Make your dentist aware of this so that, if treatment is needed, you can receive it sooner than later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaw Pain and Headaches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You should let your dentist know about any jaw or neck pain, or chronic headaches. These could be indicators of temporomandibular disorder (TMD), which refers to the malfunction and inflammation of the joint that opens and closes your mouth. Because there can be multiple contributors to this condition, it is important to be examined as soon as possible so that an effective treatment plan can be developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s always much easier to maintain excellent dental health when you take the proactive approach. By effectively communicating at your next dental checkup, you can experience the best oral health possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
