DIABETES AND ORAL HEALTH THE CONNECTION EXPLAINED

• Diabetes has far-reaching consequences, affecting
  everything from the heart and kidneys to the eyes
  and nerves. It has a negative impact on the
  body's ability to self-regulate and repair,
  leading to a host of secondary problems. Did you
  know it also has negative effects on teeth and
  can exacerbate dental problems?
• Everyone should work to maintain good oral
  health, but those with high blood sugar may find
  it more challenging to do so. Keep your teeth and
  gums healthy and your grin intact even if you
  have diabetes.
• Diabetic patients often experience complications
  in their mouths due to their disease. Poor
  control of blood sugar has been linked to an
  increase in dental issues. This is because white
  blood cells, the body's primary defence against
  bacterial infections like those that might arise
  in the mouth, are weakened by uncontrolled
  diabetes. Smilestone is the Best Orthodontist in

DIABETES AND ORAL HEALTH THE CONNECTION EXPLAINED

• Diabetes can guard against the development of
  oral health problems in the same way as
  controlling blood sugar levels reduces the chance
  of significant organ complications of diabetes
  such eye, heart, and nerve damage.
• If you have diabetes, you should schedule an
  appointment with Smilestone, the best dental
  clinic in Nagpur, immediately.
• Some of the complications of diabetes (high blood
  sugar) include the following
• Gingivitis and periodontitis (inflammation of the
  gums)
• Diabetes has many negative effects, including a
  decrease in white blood cell strength and the
  thickening of blood arteries. This decreases the
  rate at which blood carries oxygen and nutrients
  to and waste products from the mouth and other
  body tissues. The body's defences against
  infections weaken when this confluence of
  circumstances occurs. Due to the bacterial nature
  of periodontal disease, individuals with poorly
  controlled diabetes may be more susceptible to
  developing the condition.

• Bad breath
• If you have high blood sugar and are dehydrated,
  you may experience dry mouth. Cavities, gum
  disease, and other dental issues are all made
  more likely by a lack of saliva, which can
  promote the growth of harmful germs.
•  
• When blood flow to the treatment site is
  impaired, as it might be in the case of people
  with uncontrolled diabetes, patients experience a
  delay in healing following oral surgery or other
  dental operations.
• Hole in the bone (tooth decay)
• High quantities of sugar can be found in the
  saliva of people with diabetes. A transparent,
  sticky film forms on the enamel when the
  naturally present glucose combines with bacteria
  and food particles.

  your prescribed medications, make lifestyle
  changes (such as eating better and exercising
  more), and monitor your blood sugar levels
  closely. Treating diabetes-related dry mouth and
  warding off oral bacterial and fungal infections
  are both aided by tight management of blood sugar
  levels.
