A healthy mouth is important for everyone, but high blood sugar can make it harder to keep your mouth healthy. If the sugar level is high in your blood, it’s high in your saliva too.

Plaque is a sticky film present around the tooth, bacteria in the plaque use sugar as food. Some of this bacteria can cause tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease. If the tooth is not treated, it can also lead to tooth loss.

Gum disease can be more severe and take longer to heal if you have diabetes. If you have gum disease, your diabetes may be harder to manage.

Oral diabetes complications may not be top of mind when you think of diabetes complications at-large, but it’s an important part of diabetes health that you certainly shouldn’t overlook. Having less than optimal diabetes glucose levels over time triples your risk for developing gum disease (also called periodontal disease) and eventually tooth loss if left untreated. In addition, you may experience an increased risk of developing cavities, dry mouth, and other oral complications. Research has also shown that poor oral hygiene can impede HbA1c levels in a diabetic patient.

At Malar Dental our specialists provide customised care to every diabetic patient and help them achieve good oral health there by supporting their glucose control.

Preventative Dental visits save money

Often, people skip their routine dental check-ups in favour of saving money in the short term—but it may cost them in the long term.

When you visit our dental home twice a year, we’ll check for the warning signs of gum disease, dental decays or any other abnormalities in the surrounding structures. The earlier you catch it, the better. Costs for early intervention, like a deep cleaning, dental fillings are significantly cheaper than in-depth treatments, like an implant, root canal or bone graft—so don’t wait!Plaque is a sticky film present around the tooth, bacteria in the plaque use sugar as food.
