Diabetes Awareness & Gum Health 💙
Did you know that your mouth can show early warning signs of diabetes?
Gum disease (periodontal disease) and diabetes are closely connected — each can make the other worse.
🔹 How Diabetes Affects Your Gums-
• High blood sugar can weaken your body’s ability to fight infection.
• This makes it easier for bacteria to cause gum inflammation, bleeding, and bone loss.
Keeping up with your cleanings helps protect both your smile and your overall health.
