Diabetes & Gum Disease are Connected! 

This isn’t talked about enough in the doctors or dentists office, generally on any platform or in life. Appreciate this insight from yourself and others on here. Wish this was really emphasized as crucial in the public consciousness. Too easy to take teeth for granted and not go the extra minute or two to floss thoroughly daily mouthwash and brush. Thanks again

You are a blessing to so many people because you care and your teaching reflects your caring. Thank you! 🕊️

So true! I noticed that when i improved my blood sugar levels, my gums are healthier and vice-versa.

I have been type 1 diabetic since 2001, 2 years before ( I dont recall exactly ) I've had a terrible root canal. I have always linked that to my diabetes. Something inside me always told me that was the real cause. For years I have been searching the connection of tooth decay and diabetes but no one seemed to have figured that out. I did read in some old website, I think it was a forum, in where the person explained he/she had suffered from type 1 diabetes shortly after getting a root canal. Was the root canal a contributing factor at getting type 1 diabetes? I believe so, but now I dont know what to do, other than take insulin and try to keep blood glucose under control... anyone experienced something similar?

I had my wisdom teeth removed. At the time the dentist who performed the removal said to not eat solid foods after the operation as it could result in diabetes. I did get diabetes a few years later and I have always thought that the wisdom teeth removal was the cause.

You're doing such good work in your field, Dr. Nemeth. I know three young people who are studying diabetes right now in their classes. I have a good friend who has done well with type I since 1950. :) He's "eighty-ish" now. ;)

Thank you for this video

This is very interesting & helpful. lnfo about the connection in the mouth and diabetes. Thank you Doctor for this video.

My diabetes came first, now I'm looking at issues with my teeth. Perhaps I've just gone to dentists who are horrible to diabetics, but I have yet to find one that doesn't scare the hell out of me.

You know, it hurts a lot that I'm literally losing everything from diabetes. And next week I'm having 27 teeth extracted. I posted a video on my other RU-vid. Talking about everything diabetes has taken from me. And then someone accuses me of doing drugs and that's why I'm losing my teeth that really really hurts more than anything.right now.

Iv had gum disease for 20 years the ONLY thing which stopped it was cutting out Carbohydrate foods. Why is this?

Dr. Nemeth, is there an opinion on what the normal acidity or pH of the mouth is? Is it the same as the acidity of saliva? Does it vary? Thank you! :)

Is it possible that periodonitits cause insulin resistance? Even if someone isn't diabetic?

So I know using a mouth rinse is important especially using a mouth rinse with fluoride to help prevent caries and bad breath ect . But I do have a question what kinda of toothpaste and mouthrinse should a type 2 diabetes patient use ? Also if a patient has a family history of diabetes should they use the same products that a diabetic patient use just to be safe ?

Interesting. I'm not sure what's wrong with my teeth and gums. I haven't been to a dentist in a very long time, and I'm type 2 diabetic My older sister takes great care with her teeth and is also diabetic.

Hello Dr.Nemeth! Thank you for the amazing work! I have a question about the case: Did the patient see an endocrinologist before the beginning of the periodontal treatment in order to control the high HbA1c level?

I have a Root in my tooth and last year Im testing positive to diabetes. Can be this connected? I'm doing a lot of exercises a lot on my entire life.

Can bleeding gums effects eye problems, like near vision or far vision or anything to do with eye

After having a mouth infection, earlier this year, my teeth have gone from white to yellow. Why is that and what can be the cause. My A1C is 5.9 the last time I check in September this year.

Thank you sir

Hello Dr.Nemeth, I need to ask you a question about the waterpik. Can I use it to rinse the front/back of my teeth including the top part of the molars? I have noticed that brushing doesn't really remove the plaque that sits on the edges by the gumline that well. Same thing with the electric toothbrush regardless of which toothpaste I use. I feel that brushing is more abrasive and does less than the waterpik which is less abrasive and more efficient at removing plaque from your teeth. Especially plaque on the back molars. Thank you for your time and have a great day :)
