Oral Health is indeed important as much as your general health, however the importance should be given even more by patients treated for diabetes. Amongst all dental procedures, dental extraction is of the most risky treatment for diabetic patients due to increased possibilities for complications. The immunity status gets compromised due to which patients are more susceptible to infections along with delayed wound healing. High blood glucose levels can highly affect the prognosis of extraction. It can aggravate inflammation since the oral bacteria easily comes in contact with the bloodstream and risking infection eventually leading to dry socket, a condition where the blood clot gets dislodged from the extraction site leading to prolonged pain and more delayed wound healing. Always inform your dentist or other professionals before commencing any treatment. With proper planning and devising appropriate strategies, treatment can be easily performed while navigating through potential risks thereby increasing the treatment prognosis!
