Oral Health Problems and Diabetes

Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) are a group of inflammatory conditions that affect the hard and soft supporting tissues of the teeth and can lead to poor aesthetics, tooth loss, loss of function, and reduced quality of life. Gingivitis affects the superficial tissues around the teeth while periodontitis is associated with loss of supporting bone.
