Baby Dental, Diabetes and your Oral Health.
Diabetes reduces the body’s resistance to infection putting the gums at risk. In addition, people who have inadequate blood sugar control may develop more-frequent and severe infections of the gums and the bone that holds teeth in place, and they may lose more teeth than do people who have good blood sugar control. Make sure to advise your dentist if you are a diabetic so that proper dental care can be provided to you.
