Diabetes itself does not cause gingival inflammation, but if you have diabetes, it will be combined with vascular lesions, weakened immunity, and the resistance of gingival tissue to dental plaque will decrease, so the gums are prone to inflammation, bleeding, and abscesses. Loose teeth. Studies have shown that the risk of periodontal disease in diabetic patients is 2 to 3 times higher than that of the general population. Moreover, the scope of inflammation is large, the degree is severe, the treatment effect is poor, and it is easy to relapse.

It can be seen that patients with diabetes are prone to gingival inflammation, and the degree of inflammation is severe and develops rapidly, and periodontal treatment is required in time. It has been reported that thorough and effective periodontal treatment can also significantly reduce the glycosylated hemoglobin in diabetic patients, and the dosage of insulin can be reduced, which is beneficial to the treatment of diabetes.

According to the characteristics of diabetic patients, it is recommended that patients with severe diabetes must treat diabetes and control blood sugar while undergoing periodontal treatment. Diabetic patients have low resistance, so in the course of treatment, they should cooperate with systemic antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor. Periodontal re-examination is required after periodontal treatment, and gingival inflammation in diabetic patients is prone to recurrence, so the interval of re-examination should be shorter for ordinary patients.
