The mouth is a gateway for the body and can be used as an early warning system for health practitiones. Singns in the mouth can indicate trouble in other parts of the body. For example, mouth lesions and other oral conditions may be the first sign of HIV infection and can be used as indicators to follow its progression to AIDS. An oral examination can also reveal other diseases, general health status and habits such as tobacco and other drug use.
