Oral hygiene and diabetes, connected?
Oral hygiene is important. Not only because of the different oral diseases that may arise, but also that of diseases that are not “oral” in nature but are connected with oral hygiene such as diabetes.
Yes, diabetes is in fact linked with oral hygiene according to the latest report in Current Medical Research and Opinion, a UK medical journal. This was confirmed by an American periodontist, Dr. Ray Williams, stating that dentists and physicians need to collaborate more on their findings to determine the connection of oral hygiene and diabetes. It is said that orienting the people about the do’s and don’ts of maintaining good oral hygiene can lead to a lot of health benefits.
