Do you have diabetes? You're not alone. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 34 million Americans are living with diabetes – that's just under 1 in 10 people.
If you're one of those people, you know how important it is to manage your condition. You probably have a healthcare team that includes an endocrinologist, a registered dietitian, and maybe even a mental health professional. But did you know that your dentist should be part of that team too?
Dental implants are an excellent option for patients with diabetes who need to replace missing teeth. They're made from titanium, which is biocompatible – that means it won't cause any adverse reactions in your body. And because they're inserted directly into the jawbone, they don't require any gum tissue to heal, which can be a problem for patients with diabetes who have poor circulation and slower healing times.
But there's another benefit that many people don't realize: dental implants can help regulate blood sugar levels. How? Well, when you lose a tooth, the jawbone beneath it begins to resorb – that means it starts to break down and shrink away. This process can cause the face to collapse inward, making it harder for patients with diabetes to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. But dental implants prevent this from happening by stimulating the jawbone and keeping it healthy and strong.
