There are so many people out with sore teeth and mouths. I was one myself not that long ago. I had been putting off going hoping that it would just stop hurting but it did not. I was sitting in the doctors office and began talking with another patient that was so informed on diabetes and gum disease. He had suffered for years with gum problems and was in a good deal of pain then. He had been diagnosed with diabetes as a child and it had really done a number on his teeth. I guess until he explained it to me I had never thought about the link before. For me a dentist was for keeping my smile white and my teeth cavity free and past that this was my first true mouth pain. Fortunately for people like him there are places like ExceptionalPractice.com that is a great source for periodontal information. They are also experts on periodontal diagnosises and treatments. You do not have to try and deal with the pain. 173Keeping your mouth healthy increases your lifespan by as much as 10 years. There are links to connect periodontal diseases to things like heart diease, stroke cancers and the list goes on and on. It is not just about a smile but giving you something to smile about.
