NYC Dentist, Catrise Austin, Talks American Diabetes Month!

Nov. 12, 2012 - PRLog -- November is American Diabetes Month. Dr. Catrise Austin is a dentist who services New York and Los Angeles, California.  As part of American Diabetes Month, Dr. Austin is providing free tips to diabetics on caring for their teeth and taking care of their overall oral health.

“People who have diabetes are more inclined to have gum disease,” said Dr. Austin.  “Upon a diagnoses of diabetes people will be educated about how the disease imposes on their bodies. But healthcare providers are forgetting to mention that diabetes impacts a person’s mouth and teeth too.”  Dr. Austin decided to provide a few simple tips to help people with diabetes  fight tooth-decay and gum disease.

“The most important thing is hydration with water. Juices and sugar-substitute drinks normally erode enamel. But, a person with diabetes usually drinks more than the average person. In return, if the drinks are juices or have diabetic-friendly sugar substitutes in them, damage to the teeth can quickly occur,” continued Dr. Austin. “Also, the average diabetic spends $1,800 a year on gum disease as a related complication. Routinely visiting the dentist for preventive care can, especially in a diabetic’s case, save time and money.”  People interested in learning more about how to prevent dental health complications from diabetes can visit Dr. Austin’s free blog, via her website. http://nyccgd.com
