Are diabetics susceptible to oral diseases?

Yes. In the case of poor blood sugar control, diabetic patients will have a high sugar environment in the mouth, which is easy to overmultiply bacteria, which is very easy to cause mouth ulcers and periodontitis.

Five types of oral diseases common to diabetic patients:

1. Fungal infection of the oral cavity:

It is mostly Candida infection, which is manifested by the appearance of white coat, erythema, and angular cheilitis in the mouth. The prevalence of the disease is 8% in the general population and 16% in people with diabetes.

2. Maxillofacial soft tissue infection:

It is mainly a bacterial infection, which leads to local cellulitis, which is manifested as redness, swelling, heat, pain, and fever all over the body.

3. Caries disease: The amount of saliva in diabetic patients will be greatly reduced, which will cause the cleaning effect of the oral cavity to weaken, and the acidity of saliva will also increase, which is very conducive to the growth of cariogenic bacteria.

4. Periodontitis:

The most common symptom is bleeding gums, which can loosen over time. In general, if you don't treat it aggressively, your teeth will fall out in about 10 years. Studies have shown that people with diabetes have a double higher risk of severe periodontitis and a 2-fold higher risk of missing teeth.

5. Erosive lichen planus:

Erosive lichen planus is an oral mucosal disease second only to ** oral ulcer, which is manifested as reticular white lines and redness of the oral mucosa, and some patients have mucosal erosion, which causes pain. This disease does not heal on its own like ** canker sores and tends to last a long time. Due to the long-term presence of wounds in the mouth, there is a possibility of cancer.

Diabetes mellitus is a systemic disease. The so-called "systemic" means that all organs can be implicated, and the oral cavity is no exception. When blood sugar rises, the amount of sugar in human saliva also increases, thus favoring the growth of bacteria in the mouth.

In addition, the immune status of diabetic patients is abnormal, that is, the body's resistance is reduced, which also "gives the green light" to infection. There are as many as 300 kinds of microorganisms in the human mouth, and there are 500 million bacteria per milliliter of saliva, once the body's immune balance is broken, it is very easy to cause infection, of which the most common 5 types of diseases include:

1. The most common symptom of periodontitis is bleeding teeth. If the bleeding time is long, it will cause the tooth to loosen, and if it is not active**, the tooth will fall out in about 10 years. Studies have shown that people with diabetes have a times higher risk of severe periodontitis than the general population.

2. Oral fungal infections are mostly Candida infections, which are manifested as erythema and angular cheilitis in the oral cavity, and the prevalence of this disease is 8% in ordinary people, while 16% in diabetic patients

3. Erosive lichen planus is manifested as oral mucosal reticulated white lines, redness, and mucosal erosion, causing pain, and if the wound exists for a long time, it may become cancerous.

4. Maxillofacial soft tissue infection is mainly bacterial infection, which is manifested as redness, swelling, heat and pain, and high fever symptoms throughout the body.

5. The saliva of patients with caries and diabetes mellitus is significantly reduced, the cleaning effect on the oral cavity is weakened, and the acidity of saliva increases, which is very conducive to the growth of cariogenic bacteria.

Studies have shown that people with diabetes are susceptible to a variety of infectious oral diseases. At the same time, oral diseases such as mouth ulcers, periodontitis, etc., will be difficult to control, and will be reversed.

Therefore, patients with pityriasis should pay more attention to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases.

Lowering blood sugar levels in the mouth can help prevent oral diseases from diabetes. Thus improving the problem of dry mouth. For diabetes, take oral health.

Reduces the build-up of bacteria and dental plaque in the mouth. For diabetes, brush your teeth at least twice a day. After each meal, be careful to brush your teeth.

This is also the basic cleaning problem that we normal people need.

How Diabetes Prevents Oral Diseases. Diabetic oral saliva. Higher blood sugar levels.

It is easy to produce chemical reactions with bacteria. Acids are formed, which in turn corrode the teeth. Increased risk of periodontal disease from diabetes.

There are also diabetics who have little saliva secretion in the mouth. Easy to dry mouth. Bacteria, dental plaque accumulate in the mouth.

If there is no timely cleaning. Secrete acids that corrode teeth, which produce toxic substances that are harmful to the health of diabetes.

How Diabetes Prevents Oral Diseases. Oral diseases, if present, may indicate that our diabetes is getting worse. Thus, preventing diseases of the oral cavity. Diabetes is a big deal that has to be said.

The biggest possibility is mouth ulcers, oral erosions, etc., or sores on the mouth and tongue.

In fact, it is easy to get mouth ulcers, and your teeth may have periodontitis or bleeding gums, so you should go to the hospital regularly to clean your teeth.

Therefore, although canker sores seem to be a minor disease, we should also pay enough attention to them, and once we get canker sores, we must go to ** in time. If left unchecked, it will only lead to more and more complications.

1. Oral diseases produce harmful bacteria, which can cause diabetes.

For example, too many cytokines can damage the islet gland, reduce the secretion of essential insulin in the body, and easily cause the occurrence of type diabetes. It can be said that high blood pressure and diabetes are complications of mouth ulcers, so if you want to prevent high blood pressure and diabetes, you should pay attention to oral care.

2. Periodontal disease can infect cardiovascular tissues and cause cardiovascular diseases.

When suffering from periodontal disease, the bacteria produced by it enter the bloodstream and attach to the fatty acids in the coronary arteries, which can easily produce blood clots, obstruct blood flow, and affect the normal flow of oxygen and nutrients**, resulting in heart disease. This is one of the common complications of canker sores.

3. Oral diseases that are not timely cause sepsis.

Oral diseases produce many viruses that can be transmitted to other parts of the body, including the brain, through the bloodstream. Specifically, long-term retention of rotten teeth in the mouth, or untimely inflammation**, will cause sepsis, and brain abscess in the skull will be found through brain CT.

In summary, it can be seen that canker sores are very troublesome and can lead to complications in addition to the impact of their own symptoms on patients. Therefore, when you have symptoms of mouth ulcers, you should pay great attention to it, and at the same time, you should also pay attention to some care in your life, such as eating habits.

There is a high risk of causing inflammation. Diseases of the oral cavity. It even causes vomiting and can't eat. It doesn't cause diabetes, which is caused by eating a lot of sweets.

Chronic pharyngitis, constipation, headache, nausea, fatigue, irritability, fever, lymphadenopathy and other systemic symptoms; No, it won't.
