Why Are Diabetics More Susceptible to Gum Problems?
Oral infections and other dental health problems such as receding gums and gum disease, or periodontal disease, are common afflictions among diabetics for many reasons. For instance, diabetics often are plagued by diminished saliva production, which can hamper the proper cleansing of cavity-causing debris and bacteria from the mouth. In addition, out of balance blood sugar levels can lead to problems that promote cavities, retard healing and accelerate gum disease.
Dental Care for Diabetes and Oral Health
There’s a proven relationship between healthy gums and teeth, normal blood sugar levels, and overall good health in diabetics. Diabetics need to be vigilant about their overall and oral health. If you are diabetic, please visit our Boston dentist office regularly to ensure that you are always working with your diabetes dentist to promptly deal with any gum problems and adhere to the latest and best strategies for diabetic oral care.
