November is Diabetes Awareness Month. This month we are featuring information found on MouthHealthy.org that discuss how diabetes can affect your dental health. Below are two ways that diabetes can affect your oral health. Change in Taste
Your favorite flavors might not taste as rich as your remember if you have diabetes. It can be disappointing, but take the opportunity to experiment with different tastes, textures and spices to your favorite foods. Just take care not to add too much sugar to your food in an effort to add flavor. Not only can this affect the quality of your diet, it can also lead to more cavities. If you have a persistent bad taste in your mouth, see your dentist or doctor. Infections
Diabetes affects your immune system, leaving you more vulnerable to infection. One common among people with diabetes is a yeast infection called oral thrush (candidiasis). The yeast thrive on the higher amount of sugar found in your saliva, and it looks like a white layer coating your tongue and the insides of your cheeks. Thrush is more common in people who wear dentures and can often leave a bad taste in your mouth. See your dentist if you think you have thrush or any other mouth infection.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month. This month we are featuring information found on MouthHealthy.org that discuss how diabetes can affect your dental health. Below are two ways that diabetes can affect your oral health. Gum Disease
Notice some bleeding when you brush or floss? That may be an early sign of gum disease. If it becomes more severe, the bone that supports your teeth can break down, leading to tooth loss. Early gum disease can be reversed with proper brushing, flossing and diet. Research has shown gum disease can worsen if your blood sugar is not under control, so do your best to keep it in check. Dry Mouth
Studies have found people with diabetes have less saliva, so you might find yourself feeling parched or extra thirsty. (Medications and higher blood sugar levels are also causes.) Fight dry mouth by drinking water. You can also chew sugarless gum and eat healthy, crunchy foods to get saliva flowing. This is especially important because extra sugar in your saliva, combined with less saliva to wash away leftover food, can lead to cavities.

Do you crave straighter teeth, but have no patience for the time commitment required with traditional processes? Maybe, as a professional adult, you find the appearance of metal braces on your teeth completely unacceptable. Dr. Stutler and Dr. Klaes are delighted to provide their patients with Invisalign™ invisible aligners. These aligners address both your concerns. They straighten teeth in only 9 - 15 months, and nobody but you and your dental office know that you're wearing them. These state-of-the-art aligners fix wide gaps between teeth, overbite, crossbite, underbite, and overcrowding. 3-D computer imaging generates the complete treatment plan, beginning with the current position of your teeth and ending with the desired result. A series of aligners is created to fit over your teeth and gradually shift them to their new position. Approximately every two weeks, you'll exchange your current aligners for the next set until you reach your objective for straighter teeth. Even better, because you only need an evaluation every one to two months, very little time will be spent in our dental chair. The ingeniously designed Invisalign system represents cutting-edge technology that produces the same results as traditional metal braces. Ingenious design, because even up close they are barely noticeable. Ingenious design, because although you wear the aligners all day as well as while you sleep, they are easily removable for eating and brushing. That means no food restrictions while in treatment! And keeping your teeth clean and free of plaque is just as easy as it was before treatment, because there are no braces to get in the way of brushing and flossing. Ingenious design, because they're comfortable. They're all one piece with no wires to be adjusted or irritating metal to be checked. No restraining headgear is necessary! Ingeniously designed Invisalign aligners make it easy for you to have an amazing smile!
