Diabetes and Oral Health.

Taking care of your mouth is essential for your oral and overall well-being, and it becomes even more essential if you have diabeTaking care of your mouth is essential for your oral and overall well-being, and it becomes even more essential if you have diabe#happytes.

Uncontrolled high blood sugar levels weaken the immune system, which affects oral health as well. A weakened immunity makes you more susceptible to dental infections, especially opportunistic infections like candidiasis, commonly known as oral thrush.

Another complication of high blood sugar levels is xerostomia or dry mouth. People with diabetes often suffer from a dry mouth, which makes them susceptible to plaque and tartar accumulation on the teeth's surfaces.

There is a strong connection between diabetes and periodontal diseases, that is, gum diseases. Uncontrolled sugar levels make you susceptible to gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. A compromised oral immunity further helps in the progression of gum diseases. Even the smallest amount of bacteria that won't affect a non-diabetic person can wreak havoc on a diabetic person. Loose teeth and early loss of teeth is commonly seen in people with high sugar levels.

Some common signs of gum diseases are

Bleeding gum.
Inflamed and enlarged gums.
Tenderness in the gums.
Pulled back gums (gingival recession).
Loosening of teeth.
Bad taste in the mouth.
Pain while chewing.
Therefore, it is of the utmost importance for people with diabetes to maintain impeccable oral hygiene. Brush twice a day, floss regularly, and rinse after every meal to prevent bacterial accumulation. Ensure your blood sugar levels are controlled by taking regular medications and following an appropriate diet.

Does oil pulling help with gum diseases?

Oil pulling as we know it today has been around for thousands of years and comes from the Indian Medicinal System of Ayurveda. The concept was used to pull out toxins from the oral tissues. Now, this may make you skeptical but keep reading to know more.

Several researchers in recent times have conducted thorough research on oil pulling and its effect on oral health. Oil pulling can be done with coconut oil, sesame oil, palm oil, sunflower oil, and sesame oil.

Essentially you have to take a tablespoon of any of these oils and swish it around the mouth for 5-10 mins. Once done, you have to spit the oil, and that's it. Oil pulling can be done every single day. Some studies have shown promising results when it comes to oil pulling. Some studies have shown that practicing oil pulling regularly can slow the growth as well as eliminate disease-causing bacteria and reduce the incidence of bad breath. A decrease in bacterial load will ultimately contribute to better oral health and a reduction of gum diseases and dental cavities.

Although some studies have supported and backed oil pulling, the American Dental Association still does not recommend it officially. They cite the reason as a lack of sufficiently backed-up scientific research. The scope of oil pulling is vast; however, more studies need to be conducted to conclusively have proof with regard to the effectiveness of oil pulling. As of now, the sure shot way to good oral health is practicing regular oral hygiene like brushing, flossing, and rinsing as well as scheduling regular dental cleaning appointments.

How to care for your dental implants? Have you ta

How to care for your dental implants?

Have you taken the ultimate best decision for teeth replacement? If the answer is a yes, then you probably might be looking for ways to care for your dental implants in Wilmington. In this blog, we will shed light on the best ways to care for your implants.

After surgery care
If you have recently gotten surgery for dental implant placement in Wilmington, there are a few things you should take care of.
You may notice some swelling just after surgery. However, there is nothing to worry about as this is normal. Just wrap some ice in a cloth and compress it against your cheeks.
Do not poke around the implant or disturb it, as you may end up shifting it.
Maintain excellent oral hygiene. Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and low abrasive toothpaste. Make sure you do not disturb the implant in the process.
Floss regularly.
Use a mouth rinse to ensure your mouth is as clean as possible.
If your doctor has prescribed you with medicines, make sure to take them on time.

Dental implant care after healing
Once your implant heals, your dentist will place a crown and complete the procedure. After this, taking care of the implant becomes easy as it imitates a natural tooth. All you need to ensure is to maintain good oral hygiene. Make sure you clean around the implant well so that no plaque formation can take place. Any bacterial growth around the implant can cause its failure and lead to gum diseases. Use a soft interdental brush to clean below the crown and use a mouth rinse regularly.

If you have any more questions or would like to know more about our dental implant services, please reach out to us. Our team of excellent dental professionals at Wilmington Periodontics and Implants is here to assist you.
