Diabetes and Oral Health

People with diabetes have weakened immune systems, leaving them more susceptible to infection – including infection of the gums. At the same time, gum disease may make it more difficult to control diabetes. That's because the infection present in gum disease can affect blood glucose control. Colgate Total® is the only toothpaste that is approved by the FDA to fight the gum disease gingivitis.
