410-381-0505If you have any complications or issues associated with your oral health, it is important to have them treated or monitored as best as possible. In the case of diabetes, you will need to provide additional oral health care treatments and techniques to ensure your smile can continue to thrive even in the face of the condition.
Diabetes is a health condition in which your body’s ability to process sugar is hindered. If you are having problems processing sugar, be aware that issues such as gum disease can increase blood sugar and conversely affect your diabetes. Make sure that you take frequent dental visits and let our dentist know that you are suffering from diabetes, so proper oral hygiene care can be administered.
Furthermore, it is important to understand that diabetes can affect your oral health by delaying recovery time and lowering the amount of saliva in your mouth. Due to the increased risk for dry mouth, you may be more vulnerable to problems such as gum disease and tooth decay.
