Despite the main signs of diabetes, which can be observed and usually include extreme thirst and an increased need to urinate, there are 6 signs that may appear in the mouth that warn of this.
And the British newspaper “The Sun” quoted Radwan Mahmoud, a dentist from Rush Dental in London, that regular oral examination while brushing teeth can help diagnose diabetes early.
He added, “If you notice anything unwanted, consult your dentist.”
The dentist provided 6 main signs in your mouth that you should pay attention to and may indicate diabetes:
Bad breath
Same fruity scent
Gum swelling and redness
Tooth decay and loss
Sores
Oral thrush
Mahmoud says that diabetics are more likely to develop gum disease, which can be more serious, explaining that this symptom means inflammation of the gums and bone around the teeth.
The easy way to find out is to floss: If flossing between your teeth is causing them to bleed, you may have gum disease.
The doctor explained that gum disease can also cause bad breath and even tooth loss.
Although gum disease may be a sign of diabetes, it may also be the result of not brushing your teeth properly.
The National Health Service in Britain says that gum disease is caused by the accumulation of plaque on the teeth, what is known as plaque.
And if you don’t remove plaque from your teeth by brushing regularly, it builds up and irritates your gums.
Diabetes can cause a dry mouth due to a lack of saliva, which helps control bacteria levels, as well as balance and wash away the acids around the teeth and gums.
Mahmoud explained that dry mouth can lead to many oral problems, including ulcers and tooth decay.
He added that this also exposes patients to oral thrush (white or yellow patches on the mucous membranes of the mouth) because it can affect the way the body fights infections.
Fruity breath is another major sign of diabetes.
Experts at the NHS describe breath as “fruity” with a scent like pears or nail polish.
“This is known as diabetic ketoacidosis, which is a serious and life-threatening condition, where the blood sugar level gets so high that it starts to turn acidic,” Mahmoud explained.
