Diabetes

People living with diabetes are vulnerable to a host of systemic problems in their entire body. Unfortunately, the mouth and teeth are not immune from such problems, and many diabetics with oral problems go undiagnosed until conditions become advanced.

Infections and other problems such as receding gums and gum disease, or periodontal disease, are common afflictions among diabetics for many reasons; for instance, diabetics often are plagued by diminished saliva production, which can hamper the proper cleansing of cavity-causing debris and bacteria from the mouth. In addition, blood sugar levels that are out of balance could lead to problems that promote cavities and gum disease.

As with any condition, good oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing and rinsing, as well as the proper diabetic diet, will go a long way in preventing needless problems.

What Our Clients Say About Us

    Dr. Huffman is one of the Best Dentist’s in Salisbury! I have been going to him for many years! He always does such a great job on my teeth! I had an appointment today , since I thought I may have had a filling come out. But after inspecting all the teeth. He came to the conclusion, that Everything was all Right. Nothing needed to be done.
    I was so glad when I heard the great news , that he didn’t see anything wrong with my teeth 😂. Because I was so worried that there was. I guess I’m just a little to OCD and think there is something wrong 🤣....But he just said, Stop Worrying and it’s nothing! 😉
    Yay For no cavities!! No Shots !! Haha😁
