Aims: This article aims to explore the evolving role of dentistry in chronic disease management by emphasizing the oral-systemic health connection and advocating for an interdisciplinary approach that positions dentists as pivotal players in early diagnosis and management of systemic diseases. Background: The connection between oral health and systemic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke has been increasingly recognized, highlighting the importance of an integrated approach to healthcare. Dentists, often the first to detect oral manifestations of systemic diseases, are uniquely positioned to contribute to early diagnosis and management, thereby improving patient outcomes and potentially reducing the burden on the healthcare system. Case description: The article discusses specific examples where oral health serves as an indicator of systemic conditions. For instance, periodontal disease is linked to diabetes, and oral inflammation may signal cardiovascular issues. By identifying these early signs, dentists can initiate timely interventions and coordinate with medical professionals to manage chronic diseases more effectively. Conclusion: The article concludes that the integration of dental care with general healthcare practices offers significant potential for improving public health. Dentists, acting as “Oral Physicians,” can contribute to preventive care and early management of chronic diseases, thus playing a crucial role in a more holistic, efficient, and patient-centered healthcare system. Clinical significance: By recognizing and embracing their role in chronic disease management, dentists can enhance patient outcomes and help optimize healthcare resources. This integrated approach represents a promising avenue for addressing the growing burden of chronic diseases and improving overall public health.
