With changing lifestyle and food habits, there is an increased chance of developing medical problems like Diabetes. Diabetes is a condition that compromises the immunity of an individual and compromises the overall general health of an individual. As most of the dental problems are slow, long-lasting, irreversible, and cannot be treated solely by medicines, negligence towards dental visits and undergo treatment are resulting in tooth loss. In the same way, the dental problems are day by day increasing in diabetic population with higher blood sugar level than in normal individuals and diabetics with normal blood sugar level

Should Blood Sugar levels be normal for tooth removal?


It’s definitely a big YES, here is one of the scenarios I share with you. Once in my life partner’s daily dental practice, one patient had come with the pain of teeth and also told he always had high sugar levels for 10 years. Once did his dental check-up, even though he didn’t have much deposit in between gums and tooth, gums were badly infected leading to loosening and pain in the tooth. From this, we can observe the compromised immunity of individuals to fight against the microbes causing the gum infection because of higher glucose levels in oral fluids themselves being used as food for oral microbes.

As immunity is the front-line barrier to control any infection, compromised immune power in a diabetic person has to lead to increased chances of developing an infection. Henceforth, diabetic people should take extra care towards oral health to preserve the teeth. Make it happen to save your teeth by controlling your sugar level normal.

Be warned, there is nothing to match your original tooth. You can’t grow a new tooth and once you lost your original tooth a tooth that replacing it will need prolonged care. Since ‘prevention is better than care’, regular diabetes care is needed not only for your oral health but for your entire health.
