Hi Antonina,

Ok, so if I understand you correctly....you were treated for periodontal disease in the past and have not maintained any regular dental regimen for awhile. If that is correct, then most likely your periodontal disease has progressed because it is the type of infection that needs continual dental care and monitoring. You mentioned that the dentist wanted to extract those teeth because they were infected and loose.....those 2 issues indicate moderate to severe periodontal disease. Perhaps the dentists that you have seen are hesitant to tell you about the perio condition... which fo course is not a valid reason not to inform you.

Please keep in mind that any type of oral infection will make it impossible to regulate your blood sugar, even if you end up taking medication for your diabetes. Perhaps you could ask your next dentist about the health of your gums and what his dental recommendations would be for you. Be sure to tell him that you are diabetic.

Keep us posted.....I wish you well!
Bryanna
