Diabetes is a complex disease and, despite the fact that when the patient's life is controlled it can go on completely normally, this is not always the case.
⠀
Elevated blood sugar from untreated diabetes can damage your entire body, and it's no different for your gums, jawbone, and teeth. The most common problems are:
⠀
Higher frequency of tooth decay⠀
Greater propensity to suffer ulcers, gingivitis and periodontitis⠀
Increased propensity to suffer from thrush, infections such as oral candidiasis⠀
Dry mouth, which can aggravate all of the above symptoms⠀
Fortunately, properly controlling this condition drastically reduces this and many other risks, so it should always be the first step to follow.
⠀
Even so, if you are diabetic and suffer from some of these symptoms, it is always recommended that you visit your trusted dentist to receive specific treatment for your case.
