Case Studies on Diabetes and Gum Disease are Inter-linked

Asma Shahid*

The link between diabetes and periodontal disease is discussed in this article, along with several gum diseases that are typical of diabetics. A person’s chance of getting gum disease can rise when their blood sugar levels are high. In consequence, gum infections can raise blood sugar levels, which can make managing diabetes more challenging.

The term “periodontal disease,” also referred to as “gum disease,” describes illnesses that affect the gums, which are the soft tissues that support the teeth in the mouth. The likelihood of developing periodontal disease is higher in people with diabetes. An individual with diabetes can, however, avoid gum disease by controlling their blood sugar levels and keeping good dental health.
