People With Diabetes May Lose Twice As Many Teeth, Study Suggests.

reports on its website that a study published Dec. 3 in the CDC’s Preventing Chronic Disease journal suggests that people with diabetes are twice as likely to lose teeth on average as those without the condition. The study reveals that although “tooth loss has dropped overall in the US over the past 40 years, people with diabetes remain much more vulnerable,” with “black Americans with diabetes” being particularly “likely to lose teeth.” http://www.cbsnews.com/news/tooth-loss-is-higher-among-people-with-diabetes/
