Diabetes and Oral Health

Introduction

Too much glucose (also called sugar) in your blood from diabetes can cause infection and other problems in your mouth. Your mouth includes your teeth, your gums, your jaw, tissues such as your tongue, the roof and floor of your mouth, and the inside of your cheeks.

Plaque also comes from eating foods that contain sugars or starches. Some types of plaque cause tooth decay or cavities. Other types of plaque cause gum disease.
