A few months ago, a report appeared in the journal Preventing Chronic Disease that confirmed one of the more unusual effects of type 2 diabetes.
And although the report revealed how diabetes spells doom for your appearance, it’s not out of vanity that you’ll want to address this issue.
The good news is there are simple steps you can take to prevent this from happening.
A few months ago, a report appeared in the journal Preventing Chronic Disease that confirmed one of the more unusual complications of type 2 diabetes.
After crunching the numbers of 37,609 people obtained from the American National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 1971 and 2012, they concluded the type 2 diabetics were twice as likely to lose teeth as nondiabetics were.
In 1971, type 2 diabetics lost 11.2 teeth to the 9.4 of nondiabetics. By 2012, type 2 diabetics lost 6.6 teeth to the 3.4 of nondiabetics.
Not only are diabetics losing increasingly more teeth compared to non-diabetic counterparts as compared to 40 years ago, the gap has increased to a margin of almost 2 to 1.
The reasons why diabetes has this effect are not well understood, but it does seem to proceed via periodontal (gum) disease.
The good news is that good quality dental and medical care can help diabetics hold onto their teeth. For example, in 1994, the Journal of Periodontology printed a survey revealing that diabetics with better metabolic control and better dental care were no more likely to lose their teeth than nondiabetics were.

This is not correct. I had periodontis and looked after myself like you would not believe yet the periodontis did not go. I was told it was incurable. I then found Dr Ollie Behrans in London who uses a laser to remove the bacreria hiding under the gum line and have been disease free since.
However, what caused the periodontis was extreme stress, which probably causes all disease. If you have bleeding gums no matter whether diabetic or not I suggest you contact the Behrans dental clinic in South Kensigton asp.

The progress of periodontal disease in susceptible patients (inc diabetics) is inversely proportional to the amount of time patients are prepared to devote to oral hygiene. A regime of initially combining mouthwash with prolongued cleaning with a soft toohbrush, will drastically reduce gum bleeding. Then the patient really needs to clean between their teeth with interdental brushes. This reduces the "pocket" depth, and in fact produces most of the benefit that used to be obtained by periodontal surgery. A hygienist or dentist can demonstrate. Most effective times are last thing at night plus after breakfast, and a quickie after lunch too if poss.
Don't brush hard and horizontally, it erodes the dentine necks and is ineffective interdentally.
Try to brush vertically or in circles, treating upper and lower jaws seperately. Don't forget the inside!! Then use the interdental brushes, start small and increase size as nec.
