The Diabetes-Gum Disease Connection

Filed under: News

WILLIAMSPORT, COLLEGEVILLE AND PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA – We recently observed Diabetes Awareness Month in November, but when it comes to gum disease, diabetes needs to be at the forefront year-round.

Diabetes can be a predictor of gum disease, says Dr. David DiGiallorenzo, a Williamsport, Collegeville and Philadelphia periodontist. We offer a variety of gum disease treatments at our practice locations, and many of our patients who are battling gum disease also are diabetics. For that reason, we are offering information this month on the diabetes/gum disease connection.

Patients with diabetes are more prone to developing periodontal disease, and the reason likely has to do with the fact that diabetics are more susceptible to contracting infections. Diabetics also have a higher tooth loss index and greater susceptibility to periodontal disease.
