Did You Know?
If you have diabetes, high blood sugar can seriously affect your oral health.
✅ Tooth Decay (Cavities)
High glucose levels in saliva feed harmful bacteria, leading to plaque buildup and cavities.
✅ Gum Disease (Periodontal Disease)
High blood sugar weakens your body’s ability to fight infection, making your gums more vulnerable.
It can progress from gingivitis (mild inflammation) to periodontitis (a severe infection that damages bone and tissue).
It can also cause:
✅ Slow healing after dental work
✅ Dry mouth
✅ Oral infections
✅ Burning mouth
✅ Altered taste
✅ Bad breath
✅ Bone loss around teeth
Tip: Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene
