Gum care is Healthcare

Diabetes can change a lot of things - including the gums: blood circulation is reduced and the defense mechanisms are weakened. When gum inflammation develops, this inflammation can spread throughout the body and affect different organs. A suitable oral care system - toothpaste, toothbrush and mouthwash - is the be-all and end-all. The risk of periodontitis increases threefold in people with diabetes. In addition, an illness in the oral cavity can also have a negative effect on the control of blood sugar levels. Undetected or untreated periodontitis can negatively affect the severity and controllability of diabetes. In addition to good blood sugar control, good oral health is particularly important for people with diabetes.

Gum problems recognize in time!

Inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) is usually caused by plaque bacteria. One symptom of this is bleeding gums. If the cause is not treated and the plaque bacteria are not thoroughly removed, chronic gum inflammation can occur. If left untreated, the inflammation can progress, destroy the jawbone and lead to tooth loss.
