Your mouth can show signs of your overall health<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your teeth, gums, tongue and saliva can sometimes give early clues about your general health.

Mouth ulcers, burning, pale gums, swelling or loose teeth should not be ignored if they keep returning. A dental check-up helps identify whether the problem is only local or whether medical evaluation is also needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
