The Link Between Diabetes And Your Dental Health
Many people know that cases of diabetes have increased tremendously over the last few years. What many people do not realize is that there exists a link between diabetes and your dental health. Diabetes affects the blood glucose levels in your body, which then reduces the chances that your body can fight off the bacteria in your mouth. This ultimately leads to gum disease.

About Me
I have never liked my teeth. I had a lot of dental problems, including deep staining and oddly shaped teeth. Every tooth did not have the same shape, and some were rounded while others were more square. Not surprisingly, I never smiled in pictures and not even much in real life. This left people thinking I was mean before they even met me. My dentist told me my best bet to improve the look of my smile was a set of porcelain dental veneers. He said they could make all my teeth white and the same shape. I said I wanted them without any hesitation, and we scheduled my procedures. I love my new teeth, and they really did change my life. I created this blog to help other people living with teeth they don't like realize that they do have options that can improve their smiles and their lives.
