Challenges for diabetics

Did you know that periodontitis (gum disease) and diabetes are a two way street with both diseases affecting each other and needing to be controlled?

Dental care matters for those with diabetes and here’s what helps:

• Brush after every meal and use floss or small interdental brushes at least once a day

• Make healthy food choices

• Avoid dry mouth by increasing water consumption
