Link Between Diabetes & Periodontal Disease

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

Diabetics are more susceptible to contracting infections, which is the likely reason they are more apt to have periodontal disease than those without diabetes.

In fact, the AAP (The American Academy of Periodontology) considers periodontal disease the sixth complication of diabetes and states that controlling this gum disease may help you control your diabetes.

Periodontal infection is the advanced stages of gum disease that causes bone loss. The bone loss is irreversible. Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease and with early detection, treatment and proper oral hygiene can be reversed.

Periodontal infection has been associated with other systemic disorders that would not on the surface appear related.

Periodontal disease is a potential risk factor for:

  • infective endocarditis (damaged heart valves)
  • cardiovascular diseases (arteriosclerosis, coronary thrombosis ischemic heart disease, stroke)
  • diabetes
  • respiratory problems
  • pancreatic cancer
  • behavioral and psychosocial status
