I'm just wondering how many people with diabetes also have problems with their teeth.
Have you found any links between tooth problems and high cholesterol?
How about teeth and the heart?
I've been to the dentist many times in my life. Most of my teeth have fillings. Quite a number have root canal fillings. I've had apical curettage done a couple of times. My oldest root canal treatments are about 25 years old now and I'm contemplating having them pulled finally after the roots reinfected and the root tips were cut out. Bone graft material was put in 25 years ago after one of the operations where they scraped out an infection in the jaw bone and I wonder if they really cleaned it out properly since new absesses appeared some years later. Maybe there is always some remaining bacteria...
Has anyone had old dental work removed (tooth extracted) and noticed any improvement in their general health? Perhaps an improvement on hs-CRP if your diabetes was already well controlled?
