Align Health Library

The mouth-body connection

Your mouth can reveal much more than tooth decay. These guides look at what current research says about how your oral health and your general health influence each other, from the team at Align Dental Surgery.

Beyond cavities

12 things we look for during your dental examination

Your mouth can reveal much more than tooth decay. During every comprehensive examination, we assess a range of signs that may provide valuable insights into your oral and overall health.

12 things we look for during your dental examination: bleeding gums, how you breathe, your tongue, saliva, tooth wear, acid erosion, oral tissues, bone health, hormonal changes, the oral microbiome, jaw development, and the bigger picture

Our role is to detect, educate and collaborate, so you can achieve a healthier mouth and a healthier body.

  • Detect early changes
  • Collaborate with health professionals
  • Prevent problems before they start
  • Support your overall wellbeing
