Diabetics Face Higher Risk of Periodontitis

Diabetes has been known to increase the risk of severe periodontitis. Dentists report that poorly controlled, type-2 diabetics are more likely to develop periodontitis than well-controlled diabetics.

Poorly controlled diabetics respond differently to bacterial plaque at the gumline than well-controlled diabetics and non-diabetics. Poorly controlled diabetics also have more harmful proteins in the gum tissue, causing a pronounced destructive reaction to irritants such as plaque. Additional complications are caused by the reduction of the natural healing response of the gum tissue.

Keeping teeth clean is a major factor for all people but reducing bacterial buildup should be a top priority with all people who are Diabetic.

It is recommended that diabetics be aware of both their medical and dental health.

We recommend using the Natural Bristle Toothbrush, Flosser and the Complete Dental Hygiene Kit associated with this site to keep teeth clean.
