    Dr. De Vizio of Colgate answered:
    Because many people see their dentist more often than they see their doctor, dentists can give you a heads-up on potential heart problems. Dentists play an important role in identifying oral health problems and other risk factors that could lead to heart problems. Dentists can recommend prevention strategies for you and can refer you to a doctor for a more thorough evaluation.
