In this episode, Dr. Ashika Shetty from the Dental Clinic in Bannerghatta Rd explores the critical link between blood glucose levels and dental treatment outcomes, especially for individuals managing diabetes. High glucose levels not only impact general health but can significantly affect oral health as well, leading to complications in dental procedures. Dr. Shetty highlights how elevated blood sugar can make conditions like gum disease and infections more severe, reducing the effectiveness of treatments like deep cleanings, extractions, and even implants.
She explains that high glucose levels can impair blood circulation in the gums, slowing healing time and raising the risk of infection following dental work. For diabetic patients, achieving balanced glucose levels is vital for maintaining gum health and avoiding further complications. Dr. Ashika Shetty discusses practical steps patients can take, including regular dental check-ups, maintaining good oral hygiene, and collaborating with both their dentist and primary care provider to monitor glucose levels closely before undergoing any procedures.
Listeners will also learn about how dentists modify treatment approaches based on a patient’s glucose levels to ensure safer, more effective outcomes. This episode is packed with helpful insights for those managing diabetes and anyone interested in understanding how systemic health affects dental health. Join Dr. Ashika Shetty to discover why maintaining a healthy glucose level is key to a brighter, healthier smile and how the Dental Clinic in Bannerghatta Rd supports patients on their journey to optimal dental and overall health.
