Diabetes Effects on Teeth and Gums
The mouth is a gateway to the body, and for people with type 2 diabetes, oral care goes far beyond brushing and flossing.

Black Americans face disproportionate risks, being more likely to have diabetes and die from complications. Proper brushing techniques, regular flossing, water flossers, and dental checkups every six months are essential preventive measures for managing oral health with diabetes.
