Diabetes and periodontitis (gum disease) affect each other. When one is bad, it can make the other bad. When one is good, it can have a positive impact on the other. If you have diabetes, make sure you get a comprehensive periodontal (gum) exam. Gum disease does not hurt and can become quite severe before you realize you have it! That means tooth loss. It’s important to treat gum disease early.
