If you suffer from diabetes, you know how important it is to watch your health carefully.\u00a0 That includes dental health.<\/p>\n
To prevent tooth and gum problems, it is vital you control your\u00a0blood glucose.\u00a0 Diabetics, especially those whose blood glucose levels are poorly controlled, are more susceptible to gum infections than non-diabetics.\u00a0 As a diabetic, the infection is more difficult to treat, and severe gum infection, in turn, can make it more difficult to control your diabetes.\u00a0 Once such an infection takes hold in a diabetic, it takes longer to heal.\u00a0 If the infection lasts for a long time, the person may loose teeth.<\/p>\n
Proper nutrition is important for everyone, but especially diabetics.\u00a0 Since much of what you eat requires good teeth for chewing, it is very important to try to preserve your teeth.\u00a0 Because the bone surrounding the teeth may sometimes be damaged by infection, dentures may not always fit properly and may not be perfect substitutes for your natural teeth.<\/p>\n
Home dental hygiene is another important measure.\u00a0 Make sure you are following all our recommendations for your home dental care.\u00a0 If you have questions on what you should be doing, give us a call.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you notice bleeding gums when you eat or brush you teeth, see us right away.\u00a0 We need to determine if you have a beginning infection.\u00a0 You should also notify us if you\u00a0notice other abnormal changes in your mouth, such as patches of whitish-colored skin.<\/p>\n
