November is World Diabetes Awareness month! 37.3 million people in the United States have diabetes, which accounts for about 11.3% of the population. Additionally, around 96 million adults have prediabetes, a condition that often leads to type 2 diabetes if not managed. Here’s how dental care helps with diabetes:
📍Prevents gum disease, which can make blood sugar harder to control.
📍Reduces the risk of infections that can lead to complications.
📍Promotes overall health by keeping your mouth clean and free from harmful bacteria.
If you have diabetes, don’t skip your dental cleanings! Take care of your teeth—your smile and health will thank you. 🦷
