Your oral health affects your overall health and if there is a major issue happening in your mouth, your family doctor should be aware of it. If you are pregnant or have a medical condition that otherwise weakens your immune system, you are more vulnerable to bacterial infection that can stem from gingivitis and gum disease. Asking your dentist if you should inform your family doctor about any oral health issue is a good way to make sure that everyone monitoring your general health is on the same page and can care for you efficiently and to the best of their ability.
