Dr. William Greider Raises Awareness of Relationship Between Diabetes and Gum Disease, in Honor of National Diabetes Month in Fort Myers, FL
Fort Myers, FL (PRWEB) November 04, 2015 -- Dr. William Greider is showing support for National Diabetes Month, during the month of November, by helping patients understand the dangerous relationship between this disease and gum disease. Research indicates that diabetic individuals are more likely to develop gum disease and may have complications controlling their blood sugar levels, following the prognosis. Dr. Greider mitigates these risks by offering various forms of laser dentistry to treat gum disease in Fort Myers, FL.
Various studies reveal that gum disease poses a particular concern for people with diabetes. Diabetics who do not properly control their blood sugar levels develop an increased risk for periodontal disease. Many effects of diabetes, including blood vessel thickening, elevated blood sugar levels, and increased vulnerability to infections may also increase the risk for this periodontal condition. Gum disease may also significantly increase the risk for other associated health issues, potentially creating more complications with blood sugar regulation.
With the evidence of these potential issues, Dr. Greider urges diabetics who notice signs of gum disease in Fort Myers, FL, to seek treatment promptly. Dr. Greider offers various forms of laser dentistry, including the LANAP® protocol and treatment with the BIOLASE WaterLase®, Fotona Lightwalker® or Nightlase® lasers, to treat periodontal disease and other oral health issues. These precise treatments cause minimal trauma and minimize the risk of side effects typically associated with the procedure, such as pain or bleeding. Laser treatment also assists in sterilizing the gum pockets to prevent future infections and protect patients from complications of gum disease, such as tooth and bone density loss, and other related health issues.
People who notice symptoms of periodontal disease, such as gum inflammation or recession, are advised to schedule a consultation with Dr. Greider to determine their suitability for gum disease treatment in Fort Myers, FL. Patients can request appointments through Dr. Greider’s website or by contacting his office.
