Video Transcript

Periodontal Disease and Diabetes

Featuring Dr. Dino Georgas, BSc, DMD, MSD, Cert. Perio, FCDS(BC), Periodontist

Duration: 1 minute

Diabetes is a concern for us in periodontics.

It's important for the patients to follow the advice of their medical doctor, and treat their diabetes either with diet and exercise, or try and maintain blood sugars at a stable level with the medications provided.

This is important for us because uncontrolled diabetics have a higher risk of progressing gum disease. They have a risk of delayed healing; a risk of infection, and they are more prone to an infection post-surgically, as well.

For us, a stable diabetic patient has a better chance of long-term success than a patient that is not stable with their blood sugar levels and their diabetes. If you happen to be a patient that is diabetic, please inform your dentist, and they can work in unison with your medical doctor to provide proper dental care.

If you have any questions on periodontal disease and diabetes, talk to your general dentist or periodontist.
