Diabetes and Dentistry!

Diabetes and Dentistry

Diabetes is a very serious chronic disease that is marked by abnormally high levels of sugar in your blood due to a lack of insulin being produced by your pancreas.
Diabetes increases your risk for many serious health problems. Diabetics are susceptible to infections and other chronic diseases from the complication of the disease.
The International Diabetes Foundation has made a point of stressing the importance for diabetics to have optimal dental health in their just released new clinical guidelines.
Diabetics are particularly susceptible to periodontal disease. According to Dr. Sam Low, President of the American Academy of Periodontology; "Periodontal disease triggers the body's inflammatory response which can affect insulin sensitivity and ultimately lead to unhealthy blood sugar levels. Establishing routine periodontal care is one way to help keep diabetes under control.
Maintaining regular dental hygiene visits every 3 to 4 months will help to minimize the risks of periodontal disease. If you have any questions about dentistry and diabetes, please do not hesitate to give us a call at 561-394-9000. We will arrange for a comprehensive examination to help you maintain the high level of dental health you desire. Kenneth A. Mogell, D.M.D.
