[QUOTE="Jenny15, post: 1803581, member: 196992"] Hi again [USER=476626]@Marcus1234[/USER] You mentioned gum disease. I had gum disease before I developed diabetes, and diabetes made it worse. I struggle to keep it under control because I find any dental treatment, including the regular cleaning needed, very painful. They now inject anaesthetic around my whole mouth before cleaning my teeth. Reducing blood sugar helps stop gum disease getting worse. The fear for me is that one by one my teeth will fall out, if my gum disease gets worse. Dentist carried-out cleaning can help by removing plaque under the gumline where it is doing damage. It's the only way to do that.
