Thanks, for the intresting info. Can you tell me how diabetes effects on gum bleeding and what kind of treatment are used?.
Diabetes type II
When blood glucose is not controlled they respond differently to oral bacteria Compared to controlled glucose level and normal individuals.
So they :
1- have more harmful proteins (cytokines) in their gingival tissue, causing destructive inflammation of the gums.
2-(growth factors) are reduced, interfering with the healing response to infection. Diabetics tend to lose collagen, a protein that supports gums, skin, tendon cartilage, and bone, in their gum tissue thus hastening periodontal destruction.
3-Vascular disorders, like reduced circulation in tiny blood vessels in the gums (caused by diabetes) interfere with nutrition and healing in the gum tissues.
type 1 diabetes, especially those with poor control, are very vulnerable to early-onset periodontal disease as they reach puberty.
Treatment
1.Good blood glucose control : by following up with GP
watching the diet and exercising
2.Oral hygiene:
" keep it clean"
3.Watch for warning signs.Like bleeding while brushing
Painless spots
If your teeth is getting longer
And visit your dentist regularly for check ups
::) i hope that answers your Q
with regards
