  • Burning mouth.
  • Frequent oral infections.
WHAT IS THAT YOU CAN DO

  • Brush your teeth at least twice daily.
  • Floss your teeth for at least one day.
  • Make sure your dentist knows you have diabetes.
  • Look for early signs of gum disease- any redness, swelling, bleeding, burning sensation, loose teeth.
  • Don’t smoke- increases the risk of diabetes complications.
