content should be integrated into the article

Also we generally write in prose not point form.

Imagine if we had a section "neurological manifestations, neurological treatment, cardiology manifestations, cardiology treatment, endocrinology manifestations, endocrinology treatment, dermatology manifestations, dermatology treatment, and on and on through the rest of the specialties" Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:34, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

I guess read all I have written :-(

How does "it is advisable to monitor their blood pressure and blood glucose level." relate specifically to dental care? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:28, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Oral manifestations

• One of the oral manifestation is recurrent aphthous ulcers, however it is not clear whether this is the true expression of Crohn disease or coincidental finding because they are found rather frequently in the general population.
• Other more prominent findings include diffuse or nodular swelling of the oral and perioral tissues, a cobblestone appearance of the mucosa, granulomatous ulcers and pyostomatitis vegetans. Granulomatous lesions have also been observed in the salivary glands, where they may rupture and cause localized mucocele formation.
• Medications such as anti-inflammatory and sulfa-containing preparations that are commonly used to treat IBD patients, have been reported to cause oral lichenoid drug reactions.
• Fungal infection such as candidiasis may be seen as IBD patients are always associated with superinfection with Candida albicans.
• There is also increased risk of dental caries either due to the patient’s altered immune status or diet.
• Oral manifestations of malabsorption and anemia such as pallor, angular cheilitis, and glossitis are also commonly seen.

Dental Management

• Patient with Crohn’s disease are at increased risk for the development of oral infections including dental caries. Constant preventive and routine dental care is mandatory to monitor oral health and prevent hard and soft tissue diseases.
• If the patient is taking a systemic glucocorticosteroid, it is necessary to monitor the blood pressure and blood glucose level.
• Screen, diagnose, and treat any oral inflammatory, infectious, or granulomatous lesions as necessary.
• Cigarette smoking is known to exacerbate Crohn disease, hence patients should be advised to stop this habit.
• To treat the ulcerative lesions in the oral cavity, palliative rinses and topical steroid therapy may be useful. Palliative sodium bicarbonate mouthrinses (one-half teaspoon of baking soda in 8 ounces of water) may be used as swish and expectorate. Topical steroid preparations, such as 0.05% fluocinonide, desoximetasone, and triamcinolone can be applied topically to the lesions, four times daily. However it should use in short term (not to exceed 2 continuous weeks) due to the side effect of mucosal atrophy and systemic absorption.

What is

"To treat the ulcerative lesions in the oral cavity, palliative rinses and topical steroid therapy may be useful."

Maybe adjust to this?

Mouth

Recurrent aphthous ulcers are common, however it is not clear whether this is due to Crohn disease or simple that they are common in the general population. Other findings may include diffuse or nodular swelling of the mouth, a cobblestone appearance inside the mouth, granulomatous ulcers, or pyostomatitis vegetans. Medications that are commonly prescribed to treat CD, such as anti-inflammatory and sulfa-containing drugs may cause lichenoid drug reactions in the mouth. Fungal infection such as candidiasis is also common and people have a higher risk of cavities. Signs of anemia such as pallor and angular cheilitis or glossitis are also common.

Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia! We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:

1. Please keep the mission of Wikipedia in mind. We provide the public with accepted knowledge, working in a community.
2. We do that by finding high quality secondary sources and summarizing what they say, giving WP:WEIGHT as they do. Please do not try to build content by synthesizing content based on primary sources.
3. Please use high-quality, recent, secondary sources for medical content (see WP:MEDRS; for the difference between primary and secondary sources, see the WP:MEDDEF section.) High-quality sources include review articles (which are not the same as peer-reviewed), position statements from nationally and internationally recognized bodies (like CDC, WHO, FDA), and major medical textbooks. Lower-quality sources are typically removed. Please beware of predatory publishers – check the publishers of articles (especially open source articles) at Beall's list.
4. The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS. The section above the table of contents is called the WP:LEAD. It summarizes the body. Do not add anything to the lead that is not in the body. Style is covered in MEDMOS as well; we avoid the word "patient" for example.
5. We don't use terms like "currently", "recently," "now", or "today". See WP:RELTIME.
6. More generally see WP:MEDHOW, which gives great tips for editing about health -- for example, it provides a way to format citations quickly and easily
7. Citation details are important:
   • Be sure to cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books
   • Please include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article, and please format citations consistently within an article.
   • Do not use URLs from your university library that have "proxy" in them: the rest of the world cannot see them.
   • Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
8. We use very few capital letters (see WP:MOSCAPS) and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
9. Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities. Avoid overlinking!
10. Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
11. Talk to us! Wikipedia works by collaboration at articles and user talkpages.

Once again, welcome, and thank you for joining us! Please share these guidelines with other new editors.
