Online Dental Insurance – Oral Health and Diabetes.
In the United States alone more then 25 million people suffer from diabetes. For people that do suffer from diabetes oral health care is very important to maintain. Diabetes reduces the body’s resistance to infection, therefore gums are at a higher risk for gingivitis and gum disease which in turns can lead to tooth loss. Also those with diabetes can experience high incidences of oral fungal infections as well as persistent bad breath.
