Your patient's mouth often shows what they have not told you yet. Eroded enamel can appear before someone is ready to talk about eating. A dry mouth can be the first sign a new prescription is not sitting well. Bleeding gums can be the thing that changes a diabetes review.

In thirty minutes I will take you through those three presentations. What to look for, what each one tends to mean, and what you can reasonably do about it inside a standard consultation. You will leave with a referral pathway you can use, including telehealth psychology and dietetics for adult patients who cannot easily get to a clinic.

Written for GPs, registrars and practice nurses. No dental background assumed, and there is time for questions at the end.
