Your Periodontist in Wayland Can Help Battle Diabetes!
October 27, 2017
Did you know that November is National Diabetes Awareness Month? November 14th is World Diabetes Day. With these two major periods of time among us, your dental team shouldn’t be able to simply ignore the fact that 29.1 million people living in the United States alone have diabetes. Why? Diabetes can be directly correlated to oral health.
In honor of Dr. Fredrick Banting, the co-discoverer of insulin back in 1921, dentists and health practitioners alike draw awareness on his birthday (November 14th) to try to halt the progress of the disease. Your periodontist in Wayland is here to shed light on the correlation between oral health and diabetes.
