Diabetics and Dental Care

Friday, July 17, 2009 by Elana Krutoff
To help prevent damage to your teeth and overall health as a Diabetic you should adhere to the following recommendations:
  • Monitor your Diabetes - Lower blood sugar levels means less of a chance of developing Gingivitis.
  • Brush your teeth at least 2 times per day - Brushing at night is extremely important because it will help remove the plaque which has developed over the course of the day.
  • Floss! Floss! Floss! - Only floss can remove plaque from between your teeth.
  • Have regularly scheduled hygiene visits with your dental hygienist.
  • Look for early signs of Gum Disease - These include red, puffy, bleeding gums. Dry mouth, sores and pain.
  • Don't Smoke
