title: Alcoholism and dental management.
abstract: Alcohol is widely used and abused in the United States. Because alcohol affects all parts of the body, it is important for dentists as well as all other medical practitioners to be aware of the signs of alcoholism. Some dental problems occur more frequently in alcoholic patients, and often general dental care for these patients must be modified.
