Health Facts: Diabetes and Periodontal Disease


Did you know that 95% of diabetic patients have periodontal disease?


Diabetes and periodontal disease are closely linked. Diabetic patients are more likely to develop periodontal disease and people with periodontal disease are more likely to develop diabetes. Treating and managing one of these conditions can help improve the other.
