Gum Infection and Diabetes

Gum infection is linked to diabetes control. Poor blood sugar control leads to more severe and more frequent gum diseases. People with diabetes lose more teeth than individuals with good control. The best protection against periodontal disease is good diabetic control. Studies show that monitoring blood sugar levels reduces the danger of some complications of diabetes such as eye, heart, and nerve damage and disease. Some think many complications, including periodontal disease, can be prohibited with well controlled blood sugar. Gum infection is linked to diabetes control.
