Diabetic and cardiac dental care

Diabetes reduces the body’s resistance to infection. As a result, the gums are amoung the tissues likely to be affected. In addition, periodontal disease is often linked to the control of diabetes. New research suggests that treating periodontal disease and infection can even affect a patient’s blood glucose control.

For teeth and gums of diabetic and cardiac patients, we offer special attention and care like:

  • Through examination of oral condition,
  • Regular scaling and polishing of teeth,
  • Elimination of any infective or septic foci from mouth,
  • Special gum care programmes,
  • Treatment for pyorrohea and bleeding gums,
  • Searching for any risk factor for heart, lungs, kidneys etc
  • Oral cancer screening
