Diabetes and Oral Health
Individuals suffering from diabetes, especially uncontrolled diabetics, have a higher risk of developing bacterial infections of the mouth. These infections may impair your ability to process insulin, resulting in greater difficulty with controlling your diabetes. Periodontal disease can be more severe in diabetics and treatment more difficult.
Steps to prevent periodontal disease include daily brushing and flossing to remove plaque from your teeth and gums, regular dental visits for professional cleaning and regular periodontal evaluation. Your health professional must also be told of your dental history and the current status of your periodontal condition. And finally, you can help resist periodontal infection by maintaining control of your blood sugar levels.
