People with diabetes are more prone to dental health issues. It’s important to monitor blood sugar levels to help prevent dental infections like thrush and gum disease.
Key takeaways:
– Maintain good dental hygiene by brushing and flossing, and have your teeth cleaned professionally by your dental team on a regular basis.
– See your dentist if you experience sore or inflamed gums as this is an early sign of gum disease.
– Keep blood sugar levels under control.
Regular check-ups are essential.
“If you suffer from diabetes, do not resign yourself to lost teeth and oral infections.”
