Did you know that diabetics are twice a s likely to develop gum disease?
Yes, they are more susceptible to infection due to a decrease ability to fight harmful bacteria.
If diabetes is not under control, the risk for developing gum disease increases.
Studies also show that advanced gum disease, or periodontitis may actually cause type 2 diabetes.
Gum disease often develops without pain or symptoms, but signs include red, swollen, tender, receding, gums that can be prone to bleeding.
In the majority of cases, gum disease can be prevented.
Practice good oral hygiene by brushing, flossing and visiting us regularly for cleanings, checkups and early detection.
