Gum diseases, have been linked to heart disease and diabetes, among other complications. Scientists have noted that inflammation in the gums weakens the body’s capacity to control the amount of blood sugar in the body. Periodontal disease complicates conditions, particularly where there is high blood sugar in the body. High blood sugar provides the environment for infection to grow; it’s a vicious cycle where gum inflammation fully utilizes the body’s immune system to fight infection, while weakening it in other areas, such as in controlling blood sugar, or its ability to utilize insulin.
Gum disease, thus, has always had this potent connection with diabetes, the condition where the body is blighted by its inability to process sugar for energy. Regular check-ups with your local Rockville dentist like Dr. Maryam Seifi or a visit to her clinic, StarBrite Dental, should be made an essential part of your dental health regimen.
