Beware!
Diabetes can trigger oral infection
New Delhi: Medical experts suggest that
diabetes can lead to various oral infections.The number of diabetes cases in
India are on the rise due to various reasons so it becomes important to take
care of oral hygiene.
According to dentists, inflammation of
gums, white and red patches and weakening of gums due to reduction of blood
supply are among various oral problems caused by diabetes.
"People with poorly controlled
diabetes are at greater risk of dental problems. They are more likely to have
infection in their gums and the bones that hold their teeth in place, because
diabetes can reduce blood supply to the gums," said Pradeep Gadge of Dr
Gadge's Diabetes Centre.
Observing that high blood sugar may
also cause dry mouth and make gum disease worse, Gadge said: "Less saliva
can allow more tooth-decaying bacteria and plaque build-up.
"With
good blood sugar control and dental care, one can avoid these problems.
Diabetes basically reduces blood supply to the gums."
