Must-Know Tips If You Are Considering Oral Surgery and Have Diabetes
Posted by admin in Prescription Diabetes Drugs on January 16th, 2011
Oral surgery can be complicated by poorly controlled diabetes. Diabetes slows healing and increases your risk of infection.
Your blood glucose may be more difficult to control after oral surgery. The blood glucose levels may swing widely due to the added stress of the surgery and your inability to eat properly after the surgery due to discomfort.
The key is to keep your blood glucose levels under control before you even consider oral surgery. A trip to your doctor before you for surgery is vital. You dentist or oral surgeon may want to communicate with each other. You may need to take an antibiotic before any procedures.
Unless your doctor orders otherwise - eat before your dental visit and take your usual medications. Check your blood glucose to be sure it is in the normal range. If it is too high your surgery may need to be postponed.
If you expect your oral surgery or dentist visit to leave your mouth sore, then plan ahead and have soft or liquid food available to eat when you get home.
If your blood sugar is poorly controlled and your dental needs are urgent (or an emergency), you may need to receive your dental procedures in the hospital or same day surgery facility. This may allow them to monitor you more closely as you recover from the procedure.
After the dental procedure, take care to prevent further problems.
1. Brush your teeth after every meal and snack with a soft toothbrush.
2. Floss your teeth at least once a day.
3. See your dentist at least twice a year (or as directed by your dentist).
