It\u2019s also been linked to a variety of health conditions in the rest of the body, including diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>But what exactly is the relationship between gum disease and diabetes? That\u2019s what we\u2019d like to spend some time talking about today.<\/p>\n<p>The true nature of that relationship isn\u2019t fully understood yet, but researchers do know that it runs two ways. On the one hand, the infection caused by caused gum disease raises the body\u2019s blood sugar levels, increasing a diabetic\u2019s chance of experiencing complications. On the other hand, a patient with diabetes is more susceptible to developing an infection because of the differences in his blood sugar. So regardless of whether one causes the other, or vice versa, a link definitely exists between them.<\/p>\n<p>That means <a href=\"https:\/\/www.randolphdental.com\/our-services.html\">regular checkups<\/a> are essential for monitoring gum health. Even if you\u2019re not diabetic, you may still have a mild form of gum disease.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.randolphdental.com\/meet-your-dentists.html\">Dr. Goldstein<\/a> provides effective <a href=\"https:\/\/www.randolphdental.com\/meet-your-dentists.html\">periodontal therapy<\/a> with scaling, root planing, laser and <a href=\"http:\/\/arestinprofessional.com\/periodontitis?Utm_source=arestinsite&#038;utm_medium=redirect&#038;utm_campaign=consumerindex.php\">Arestin<\/a>, a topical antibiotic that can help you fight infection.
