A good dentist can see quite a bit about your general health by looking in your mouth. Based on the state of your gums and teeth they can tell if you might have a disease such as diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, oral cancer or osteoporosis. They can also tell if you have bulimia or are suffering from stress. Check out this interesting article to see if you have some of the oral symptoms of these diseases.
