Pennsylvania Dental Implants Expert Shares Diabetes-Perio Disease Connection

Collegeville, Pennsylvania (I-Newswire) December 18, 2011 - WILLIAMSPORT AND COLLEGEVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA - Dr. David DiGiallorenzo, a Collegeville and Pennsylvania dental implants and periodontal treatment provider, participated in Diabetes Awareness Month in November, but he reminds diabetics year-round about understanding the dangers of gum disease.

Diabetes can be a predictor of periodontal disease, said DiGiallorenzo, periodontal surgery expert. Many of his patients who have gum disease also are diabetics. This demographic has a greater tendency of developing periodontal disease, possibly due to their higher susceptibility to getting infections. Moreover, they are more likely to lose their teeth and are more susceptible to gum disease.

"Diabetics frequently exhibit less immune response, making them open to myriad sicknesses and degenerative processes, not all of which are related to periodontics," Collegeville, PA LANAP provider DiGiallorenzo said.

Glycemic management is crucial to successful healing in people who have LANAP- laser assisted new attachment procedure- or dental implants. DiGiallorenzo said a customized diet and nutritional regimen to supplement and remove toxicity from the body is imperative in situations such as these.

A serious gum infection could lead to unstable glycemic index in a diabetic person. That leaves the body in an energy-depleted condition. Infections in the mouth are prevalent and quiescent, so patients might not know they have an infection. DiGiallorenzo uses 3D imaging, nutritional detoxification, laser biostimulation, risk factor modification and LANAP therapy to effectively manage diabetic patients.
