General / By

Diabetes increases the risk of suffering from periodontal disease or "pyorrhea".«

  • IT PROVOKES AN EXACERBATE RESPONSE TO THE INFECTION
  • ALTERS THE ABILITY TO RESOLVE IN THE FACE OF INFLAMMATION
  • ALTERS THE REPAIR CAPACITY

THEREFORE THERE IS A GREATER LOSS OF BONE SUPPORTING THE TOOTH

 

Periodontal disease, or "pyorrhea," impairs blood glucose control.

  • It can initiate or increase insulin resistance due to chronic inflammation.
  • INCREASES THE RISK OF DEVELOPING COMPLICATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH DIABETES (HEART DISEASE AND KIDNEY DISEASE)

 

WE RECOMMEND TO ALL DIABETICS:

GOOD DIABETES CONTROL AND

PERIODIC ORAL EXAMINATIONS AND VERY CAREFUL GUM MONITORING
