Basic rules of oral care for patients with diabetes mellitus:
Visit the dentist every 3-6 months.
Conduct regular professional oral hygiene. For more details, see below.
After each professional hygiene, change the toothbrush and, if necessary, carry out anti-inflammatory therapy prescribed by the doctor (for example, use toothpastes and mouthwashes with antiseptic components for 2 weeks).
Timely treatment of gums and teeth.
Carefully take care of your teeth at home.
Regularly - meaning as plaque and stones form. There is no clear indication of exactly what time. Someone needs to remove plaque and stones every 3 months, someone once a year. With regular visits to the doctor / hygienist, this schedule is set individually.
