Diabetes is a common condition affecting millions of people. Diabetes affects several organs and systems throughout the body. The most well-known complications of diabetes include heart disease, poor blood circulation, diminished eye-sight and kidney function, slower healing of wounds, and a reduced resistance to infections. Oral health is also associated with diabetes. Good oral health can be enjoyed if the blood glucose levels can be maintained and the mouth is well looked after with thorough daily oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
