NEW YORK - May 30, 2014 - PRLog -- ‘Your Dentist, Diabetes & You’ is a new book authored by celebrity and groundbreaking dentist, Dr. Catrise Austin. The book, which acts as an informative guide and patient advocacy tool, helps identify not only what diabetes is, but also how important dental exams and oral health is – especially for diabetics.


“Right now, studies show there are 57 million people in the USA who are considered pre-diabetic. Now, if you consider how many of these people are actually proactive when it comes to their own dental care, the statistics are scary,” said Dr. Austin. “There is a disconnect between treating diabetes and dental health. There should be. These two health concerns play into one another and impact one another.”

According to the CDC, “about a fourth of U.S. adults—have pre-diabetes, which means their blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not yet high enough to be classified as diabetes.” In the CDC’s media alert, the department went on to say, “People with diabetes tend to develop periodontal disease earlier in life, and more severely. Instead of losing their teeth from gum disease in their 60s, they might begin losing teeth in their mid-40s. Smokers with diabetes are especially at-risk for gum disease and tooth loss. Unfortunately, studies have found that people with diabetes see their dentist less often than those without the disease.”

‘Your Dentist, Diabetes & You’ addresses the 57 million pre-diabetic issue and, more so, the people who currently have diabetes.  “There is a strong link between serious gum disease and diabetes, which is concerning for everyone- diabetic or pre-diabetic. I wrote this book to inform readers on what they need to do when seeking, visiting and leaving a dentist office,” finished Dr. Austin.

Galley copies of Dr. Austin’s book are being sent to the media for review consideration. Bulk copies of the book are available to corporate and medical meeting planners as a licensed and gratis tool for special in-person appearances by Dr. Austin.  The book’s official media kit, a free and non-subscribed blog on diabetes and oral care, and more are all available at DiebticDentalBook.com.
