Received Date: Nov 02, 2024 / Published Date: Nov 30, 2024
Abstract
Diabetes, particularly when poorly managed, can have a significant impact on oral health. High blood sugar levels contribute to an increased risk of developing dental problems, such as gum disease, tooth decay, dry mouth, and infections. Oral health is often neglected by individuals with diabetes, but maintaining good oral hygiene is critical to preventing complications. This article explores the relationship between diabetes and oral health, focusing on the impact of high blood sugar on teeth and gums. It provides practical advice on how individuals with diabetes can minimize the effects of hyperglycemia on their oral health, including proper oral hygiene practices, dietary recommendations, and regular dental checkups. By addressing these concerns, individuals with diabetes can reduce the risk of oral health complications, improving their overall quality of life
