Diabetes and Periodontitis
Periodontitis (gum disease) and diabetes are linked in both directions. Diabetes impairs immune response and slows wound healing, making people more vulnerable to periodontitis. Conversely, periodontitis can impair the management of diabetes by raising blood sugar levels and insulin resistance. Effective diabetes and periodontitis control, consistent dental check-ups, and good oral hygiene are essential. For people with diabetes, lowering blood sugar levels and treating periodontitis can reduce risks and enhance overall health outcomes.
