Gallery 57 Dental - Dentistry for diabetics :: What most diabetics don't know

Gum and bone disease basically begins as an infection, caused by bacteria found in plaque. A diabetic’s immune system is compromised, and can’t respond as quickly to fight this type of infection as can a non-diabetic. The American Dental Association lists infection and delayed healing, along with periodontal disease (i.e. gum and bone disease) among the chief oral health problems associated with diabetes.

Comprehensive treatment of gum and bone disease by a dentist thoroughly knowledgeable on the needs of the diabetic can help control low-grade infections, as well as blood sugar levels, often affected by diabetes. Our dentists at Gallery 57 Dental have received specialized comprehensive training and continuing clinical education about caring for the diabetic dental patient.
