7 Tips for a Diabetes Patient to
Maintain a Healthy Mouth
 Schedule
regular dental visits: Make a habit of visiting your dentist at least
twice a year for professional oral check-ups.
 Make
sure your dentist knows you have diabetes.
 Look
for early signs of gum disease. As soon as you see any problems
related to your oral health, report it to your dentist and make sure to mention
other signs and symptoms, such as dry mouth, loose teeth or mouth pain.
 Don't
smoke: Smoking is injurious to health; it increases the risk of serious
complications for a diabetes patient; including gum disease and ultimately,
loss of your teeth.
