The role that diabetes plays in gum disease, according to Noh, has to do with high blood sugar levels which, in turn, affect inflammatory responses and wound healing, contributing to more severe gum disease.
Diabetic patients with good glycemic control have reduced prevalence and severity of periodontitis compared to those with poorly controlled diabetes, he says, adding that effective periodontal treatment is potentially associated with improved glycemic control.Noh says many of his patients worry about the possibility of maternal periodontal disease leading to low birthweight and pre-term births.
“The concern comes from oral micro-organisms that can potentially directly and/or indirectly impact the fetal-placental unit,” he says. “This is biologically plausible, but further well-designed studies are still required. I emphasize that non-surgical periodontal treatment [regular exams and cleaning] is safe, and contributes to the overall wellbeing and oral health of the pregnant mother.
