Did you know that diabetes and gum disease have a significant connection? It’s often described as a two-way street – having diabetes increases your risk for gum problems, and severe gum disease can potentially make diabetes harder to control. At Practice 32 in Colorado Springs, our dental hygienists are aware of this link and emphasize the importance of excellent oral hygiene for our patients with diabetes.
Diabetes affects the body’s ability to process sugar, and high blood sugar levels can impact your mouth in several ways:
Individuals with poorly controlled blood sugar are at the highest risk for developing severe periodontitis.
Severe gum disease (periodontitis) is a chronic bacterial infection and inflammatory condition. This inflammation isn’t just localized to the mouth; it can affect the entire body. Systemic inflammation can make it more difficult for the body to use insulin effectively, potentially leading to higher blood sugar levels and making diabetes management more challenging.
If you have diabetes, regular visits with your dental hygienist are especially important:
While we manage the preventive hygiene aspects, any diagnosis or treatment of advanced gum disease or related dental issues would be handled by a general dental practice or specialist dental office, often in coordination with your physician managing your diabetes.
Controlling your blood sugar and maintaining excellent oral hygiene are both vital for overall health. Let Practice 32 be your partner in preventive oral care.
Call Practice 32 at 719-427-4733 to schedule your appointment in Colorado Springs and discuss your specific needs as a patient with diabetes.

Lisa.★★★★★
I highly recommend Practice 32. Olivia is very knowledgeable. She has state of the art equipment and takes the time to explain what she is doing, explains how to properly floss and how to take the best care of your teeth. Very different from any other teeth cleaning I’ve ever experienced! Definitely check out Practice 32!

When I went to Practice 32, I found Olivia to be very professional and friendly. The office was immaculate, beautifully decorated and calming. Olivia spent more time than any other dental hygienist I had been to explaining her process and how to better care for my teeth…

Not only are my teeth super clean, I learned so much in how to properly clean my teeth. Trust me, I thought I knew what I was doing but Olivia showed me the way!! If you want great care and knowledge, go see Olivia. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!!
Michelle★★★★★
This was the most pleasant and relaxing dental cleaning that I’ve ever had. Olivia was patient and kind, and explained the process and the equipment. I found it both interesting and informative! I appreciate that she was also able to take X-rays, which can be sent to my new dentist. Olivia will be my hygienist from here on out. Thank you!

Olivia is a wonderful! This is the first time I’ve used the guided biofilm therapy, and my teeth felt so much cleaner than a traditional cleaning. Highly recommend!
