Diabetes Tooth Decay Risk
A U.S. study examining records of 490 patients, including 100 with type 2 diabetes, found that tooth decay and infections of the tooth pulp were among the leading causes of tooth extraction in people with diabetes. This was despite 93% having periodontal disease, which accounted for only 14% of their extractions. Causes unrelated to periodontal disease made up about 90% of extractions in the sample. Older age and smoking were also associated with fewer remaining teeth. The researchers recommended including prevention of tooth decay and pulp infections in diabetes care.
