[QUOTE="lorilainey, post: 149084, member: 28522"] [b]Re: Teeth + gums - is it really much more serious with diabe[/b] I have first hand knowledge of this. I had bad glucose control, and suffered gum disease, my teeth started to separate, and I had big gaps in between them. The gum disease got so bad that I had to have 3 of my bottom front teeth removed, and I now have a denture, and have had it for 2 years. I can't eat with the denture in as its too painful when food gets trapped underneath it and wedges against the your gum underneath your tongue In hindsight, I wish I had had better control, but I was still at the denial stage, having not long been diagnosed. My advice is take very good care of your teeth, as I can tell you its no fun having to try to discreetly take your denture out in restaurants in order to eat! [/QUOTE]
