periodontal disease can worsen both conditions if either condition is not properly controlled.<\/p><p>Here are ways in which diabetes and periodontal disease are linked:<\/p><ul><li><div><strong>Increased blood sugar<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Moderate and severe periodontal disease elevates sugar levels in the body, increasing the amount of time the body has to function with high blood sugar.\u00a0 This is why diabetics with periodontitis have difficulty keeping control of their blood sugar. \u00a0In addition, the higher sugar levels found in the mouth of diabetics provide food for the very bacteria that worsen periodontal infections.<\/div><\/li><li><div><strong>Blood vessel thickening<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The thickening of the blood vessels is one of the other major concerns for diabetes sufferers.\u00a0 The blood vessels normally serve a vital function for tissues by delivering nutrients and removing waste products.\u00a0 With diabetes, the blood vessels become too thick for these exchanges to occur.\u00a0 This means that harmful waste is left in the mouth and can weaken the resistance of gum tissue, which can lead to infection and gum disease.<\/div><\/li><li><div><strong>Smoking<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Tobacco use does a great deal of damage in the oral region.\u00a0 Not only does tobacco use slow the healing process, it also vastly increases the chances of an individual developing periodontal disease.\u00a0 For diabetics who smoke, the risk is exponentially greater. \u00a0In fact, diabetic smokers aged 45 and over are twenty times more likely to develop periodontal disease.<\/div><\/li><li><div><strong>Poor oral hygiene<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 It is essential for diabetics to maintain excellent levels of oral health.\u00a0 When daily brushing and flossing does not occur, the harmful oral bacteria can ingest the excess sugar between the teeth and colonize more freely below the gum line.\u00a0 This exacerbates the metabolic problems that diabetes sufferers experience.<\/div><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b3967db elementor-invisible

type of diabetes to see the dentist at least twice yearly for checkups and professional cleanings. \u00a0Studies have shown that simple non-surgical periodontal treatments can lower the HbA1c (hemoglobin molecule blood test) count by as much as 20% in a six month period.\n\nThe dentist will use medical history, family history and dental X-rays to assess the risk factors for periodontal disease and determine the exact condition of the gums, teeth and underlying jawbone.\u00a0 If necessary the dentist will work in conjunction with other doctors to ensure that both the diabetes and the gum disease are being managed and controlled as effectively as possible.\n\nNon-surgical procedures performed by the dentist and dental hygienist include deep scaling, where calculus (tartar) will be removed from the teeth above and below the gumline, and root planing, where the root of the tooth is smoothed down to eliminate any remaining bacteria.\u00a0 Antibiotics may be applied to the gum pockets to promote healing.\n\nBefore and after periodontal treatment, the dentist and hygienist will recommend proper home care and oral maintenance as well as prescribing prescription mouthwashes which serve to deter further bacteria colonization.\n\n<em>If you have questions or concerns about diabetes or periodontal disease, please ask your dentist.<\/em>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
