What Is The Link Between Diabetes And Periodontal Disease?
If you have diabetes, you are likely aware that the disease can harm your eyes, nerves, kidneys, heart and other important systems in the body. But were you aware it can also cause problems in your mouth? In fact, people with diabetes have a higher than normal risk of periodontal diseases and losing teeth.
As 5% of Australians suffer from diabetes, at Prevent Dental Suite we think it is important that our patients and readers understand how the diseases are related, their effects, and how they interact.
