Which chronic disease may be prevented by regular visits to the dentist?

b. diabetes
c. allergies
d. emphysema

The correct answer is B.

Diabetes (type 2) is caused by a poor diet and a bad lifestyle. One of the main causes is too much sugar in the diet. Regular visits to the dentist can assess how the food you eat is impacting on your teeth and gums. The dentist will be able to tell if you have too much sugar in your diet and will advise you on a change of diet in order to prevent possibly developing diabetes.
