The periodontal disease will affect the bone and gums that surround the teeth, for a patient with uncontrolled diabetes, the periodontal disease will become more severe and can even lead to losing the teeth. Some studies have shown that one sign of a patient with undiagnosed diabetes could be the presence of a severe periodontal disease. Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity.
