Diabetes Can Be Caused By Gum Disease!
Research has come forth that suggests that the relationship between periodontal disease and diabetes goes both ways. Gum problems can make it more difficult for diabetics to control their blood sugar. Those who have diabetes are more likely to have periodontal disease than those who do not which makes it vital for diabetics to maintain their blood sugar and seek treatment.

How Does Gum Recession Happen?
Your gums can recede for a wide variety of reasons, including those that are listed here:
Your gum disease (also called periodontal disease) has progressed to the point where the gum tissues are withdrawing from the areas they are supposed to protect.
You have been unable to maintain regular dental treatments for a number of years.
You are brushing your teeth too aggressively or are using improper brushing techniques.
Your bite is misaligned or your teeth are crooked.
You are experiencing hormonal changes as a result of pre-menopause, menopause, or pregnancy.
You have lip, tongue, or gum piercings that are irritating your gum tissues.
Warning Signs of Gum Disease
If gum recession is not treated, a number of problems can occur. The gums will continue to recede, exposing tooth roots and potentially bone. Over time, root exposure can lead to tooth loosening and tooth loss. In addition, gum recession can detract from the aesthetic appeal of your smile as more of the teeth’s surfaces are exposed, resulting in a “gummy” appearance. Many people who have gum recession try to avoid smiling because they become self-conscious due to their dental issues.
