I do not know if this is the best name for the article. I think a better article would be oral and maxillofacial disease of oral and maxillofacial pathology (I realize it is currently a redirect to an associated topic) so that it is inclusive of all diseases usually treated or identified by dentists. There is even a specialty on oral and maxillofacial pathology. If we were to really be strict on definitions, "dental" disease would be diseases affecting teeth, which would mean "gum" disease is not included as there is nothing wrong with teeth in that case. - Dozenist talk 03:42, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
