Diabetes and Gum Treatment: Expert Care at Sparks Dental Clinic & Implant Centre, Nellore

Why Diabetics Need Special Gum Care

At Sparks Dental Clinic & Implant Centre, we understand that diabetes significantly impacts gum health. High blood sugar:

✔ Weakens the immune system, making gums more prone to infection
✔ Reduces blood flow to gums, slowing healing
✔ Increases plaque buildup, raising gum disease risk

Fact: Diabetics are 3x more likely to develop severe gum disease (periodontitis).

Common Gum Problems in Diabetics

1. Gingivitis (Early Gum Disease)

• Symptoms: Red, swollen, bleeding gums

• Risk: Can progress to periodontitis if untreated

2. Periodontitis (Advanced Gum Disease)

• Symptoms: Receding gums, loose teeth, bad breath

• Risk: May lead to tooth loss and worsen diabetes control

3. Abscesses & Infections

• Diabetics heal slower, making infections more dangerous

Our Specialized Gum Treatments for Diabetics

1. Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)

✔ Removes plaque and tartar below the gumline
✔ Helps gums reattach to teeth
✔ Recommended every 3-6 months for diabetics

2. Laser Gum Therapy

✔ Minimally invasive treatment for infected gums
✔ Reduces bacteria with precision
✔ Faster healing than traditional surgery

3. Antibiotic Therapy

✔ Localized antibiotics placed in gum pockets
✔ Helps control infection without disrupting diabetes

4. Gum Grafting (For Severe Cases)

✔ Repairs receded gums
✔ Uses patient's own tissue or donor material
✔ Restores gum health and protects tooth roots

Pre-Treatment Care for Diabetic Patients

🔹 Check HbA1c levels (should be <7% for safest treatment)
🔹 Adjust insulin/diabetes meds if needed (in consultation with your doctor)
🔹 Antibiotic pre-treatment to prevent infection (if required)

Post-Treatment Healing Tips

✔ Monitor blood sugar closely (healing depends on good control)
✔ Use a soft toothbrush & antimicrobial mouthwash
✔ Avoid smoking (delays healing)
✔ Attend all follow-ups at our Nellore clinic
