What Does This Have To Do With My Mouth?

When you go to the physician's or dentist's office, you are frequently asked to fill out a health history form.  You may wonder why your dentist needs to know about your surgeries or any medications you take.  In fact, this information is very important to your dentist.  Many times, sickness manifests itself in some way in your mouth, to begin with, but also, having some work done in your mouth may stress your body's systems too much.  Your dentist wants to help you gain the best oral health you can, and this is unavoidably connected to your overall health.  So, next time you feel like grumbling about those health histories, remember that this information will help to avoid any complications and may help in the diagnosis of your oral health.
