Diabetes and Gum Disease; an Important Connection


Oral health can impact more than just your mouth. In fact, there’s an important connection between Diabetes and Gum Disease.
Did you know that uncontrolled gum disease or periodontal disease can affect your ability to control blood-sugar? And high blood-sugar levels over the long term can lead to premature degeneration of the eyes, kidneys, nerves and blood vessels. The best defense against gum disease and periodontal disease is to see your dentist regularly to ensure any issues are caught early.
At Forman Dental, we believe in “whole-body health starting with the mouth”, so book your check-up today.
