There seems to be an unspoken agreement in the world of medical professionals, that the mouth is an entirely separate area of the body, its domain belonging to the dental specialist. This reliance on the dentist or hygienist assumes that everyone has dental regular check-ups and that every dental professional performs an oral cancer exam. It is not yet universally accepted that the health of the mouth has an effect on the rest of the body. However, in his first-ever report on oral health in 2000, the Surgeon General made this statement: "Oral health is integral to general health ... Oral health and general health should not be interpreted as separate entities." You cannot have a healthy body if your mouth is diseased.
