Individuals who suffer from diabetes have been advised of the need to maintain good oral health.

The International Diabetes Foundation noted a link between the development of periodontal disease and diabetes has been discovered. Therefore, it is imperative that those who already have the disease take their oral health seriously.

"Everyone should maintain healthy teeth and gums to avoid periodontal disease, but people with diabetes should pay extra attention," commented Dr Samuel Low of the University of Florida College of Dentistry.

The foundation noted there are approximately 246 million people who suffer from diabetes in the world.

Elsewhere, the American Dental Association recently noted that people aiming to keep their mouth in the best of health should ensure they brush their teeth and floss regularly, while teeth whitening kits can help to remove stains and make a person’s smile more dazzling.

However, the organisation noted that in cases where a person has an underlying dental health problem, it is always best to seek the advice of professionals before carrying out any home treatments.
