Advice for diabetics: Pay attention to oral and dental health
The Federal Chamber of Dentists in Germany said that diabetics are more likely to develop periodontitis;
Because the high level of sugar in the blood helps the multiplication of bacteria and inflammatory substances in the mouth.
The room explained that the symptoms of periodontitis are inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the mouth, the accumulation of tartar on the teeth, bleeding gums and receding gums, in addition to blood flow disorders, which lead to a deterioration in the consistency of the healing wounds.
The Chamber stressed the need to consult a doctor immediately upon noticing these symptoms to undergo treatment in a timely manner to save the teeth from loosening and falling out.
To avoid periodontitis, diabetics should control blood sugar levels, take good dental care, and quit smoking.
