🦷 November is National Diabetes Month! 💙
Did you know that diabetes can have a significant impact on your oral health? People with diabetes are at a higher risk for gum disease, dry mouth, and other dental issues. Here’s how you can protect your smile if you’re managing diabetes:
Control Your Blood Sugar: Keeping your blood sugar in check helps reduce your risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush twice a day, floss daily, and use an antimicrobial mouthwash to keep bacteria at bay.
Stay Hydrated: Diabetes can lead to dry mouth, which increases the risk of cavities. Drink plenty of water to keep your mouth moist.
Regular Dental Visits: Schedule regular check-ups with your dentist to catch any issues early and keep your oral health in top shape.
Your oral health is closely linked to your overall health—let’s work together to keep your smile healthy! 😊
