Dental 4 Less Diabetes and Gingivitis
When you have diabetes, high blood sugar can take a toll on your entire body, including your teeth and gums
Diabetes reduces your ability to fight gum disease as know as gingivitis. If you do not remove plaque with regular brushing and flossing, it will harden under your gum-line into a substance called tartar. Over time your gums become swollen and bleed easily. This is known as gingivitis.
The good news is that prevention is in your hands. Make sure to have good at home dental care habits and visit your dentist regularly as advise by your dentist.
