title: Oral health is important, but often overlooked.
abstract: Providers sometimes neglect to examine HIV patients thoroughly for oral infections, mouth ulcers, and other severe dental problems that are associated with HIV infections, according to a new study. Primary care providers and HIV specialists may assume that patients are receiving regular dental treatment, when this often is not the case.
