Dental consideration for people with diabetes

Diabetes Mellitus is a group of the disease characterized by high levels of blood glucose levels in the blood. The most common types of Diabetes are Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is most commonly seen in young individuals that are less than 20 years of age and have a genetic connection. Insulin is needed to regulate blood glucose levels.

Type 2 diabetes is more common than type 1 and is associated with symptoms such as unexplained weight, increased hunger, increased frequency of urine, delayed healing of wounds, and fatigue.

Other complications with long-term uncontrolled diabetes include complications such as kidney disease, heart diseases, vision problems, and dental diseases

Diabetes and an action plan for dental health are a must for a healthy smile. You must always try to control your blood sugar by following a healthy lifestyle, getting your investigations done on time, take your medications as prescribed, and most importantly maintaining your oral hygiene status and keeping your mouth healthy. A regular dental visit at least every 6 months is important to prevent the chances of having gum diseases and dental caries. A regular checkup also prevents the progression of gum diseases. Getting a professional deep cleaning of your teeth by a dentist not only improves the oral hygiene status but also regulate the blood sugar levels.
