Oral health problems and diabetes

• People who have diabetes are more likely to have
  the following oral health problems
• Dry mouth- Diabetes that is not controlled can
  cause a reduction in salivary flow, or dry mouth.
• Poor healing- Uncontrolled diabetes limits blood
  flow to the treatment site, which slows down the
  healing process following oral surgery or other
  dental operations.
• Thrush -An increased risk of fungal infections of
  the mouth and tongue is seen in people with
  diabetes who regularly use antibiotics to treat
  other illnesses. Further, it also causes a
  burning mouth sensation for some.
• Gum inflammation(gingivitis)- Uncontrolled
  diabetes may lead to more severe and frequent gum
  disease.
