If you have diabetes, managing your blood sugar not only helps control your condition but also reduces your risk of developing gum disease. Research shows that diabetics are about three times more prone to periodontitis, a serious gum infection that can damage the soft tissue and bone supporting your teeth. A balanced approach to your diet and regular exercise can help your body use insulin more effectively. Keeping a close eye on your blood sugar levels ensures you understand how your lifestyle choices impact both your overall health and your smile. When you prioritize your wellness, you're not just protecting your body — you're also investing in a healthier, brighter smile.
