Has anyone had problems with tooth loss with regards to type 1 diabetes?
I have lost a number of teeth and have been told that it is through my diabetes. I have had type 1 for 46 years. Unfortunately I am having real difficulty with wearing dentures due to gagging when trying to insert my upper set. I have tried to get implants on the NHS but apparently even though my teeth are falling out and will have difficulty eating when they are all gone I do not come into the category for implants on the NHS.
Has anyone else had any issues like above??
