Find a dentist who understands the needs of diabetics.
• See the dentist on a regular basis and remind him or her of any changes in health and medication.
• Notify the dentist of any ulcers, swollen or reddened areas in the mouth, and any painful area in the mouth.
• Eat a normal diet before dental appointments, take all diabetic medications regularly, take a blood glucose monitoring device and make appointments and tell the dentist if they feel hypoglycemia-related symptoms.
