Pressure injuries, also known as bedsores or pressure ulcers, are caused by prolonged pressure on the skin, often affecting individuals with limited mobility. The risks of pressure injuries include: -Tissue Damage: Continuous pressure reduces blood flow, causing tissue damage and potentially leading to skin breakdown. - Infection: If untreated, pressure injuries can become infected, -increasing the risk of sepsis or cellulitis. - Delayed Healing: Older adults, malnourished individuals, and those with underlying health conditions may experience slower wound healing. - Chronic Pain: Pressure injuries can cause persistent pain, impacting the quality of life. - Complications in Chronic Illnesses: People with diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, or other chronic diseases are at higher risk of developing severe pressure ulcers, leading to further complications. - Preventive measures like regular repositioning, proper nutrition, and pressure-relieving devices can reduce the risk of developing these injuries. .

Did you know that diabetes can significantly impact your oral health? If you have diabetes, you’re at a higher risk for: Gum Disease: Infections in the gums and bones supporting your teeth can lead to pain, bad breath, and even tooth loss. Dry Mouth: Reduced saliva can cause sores, tooth decay, and discomfort. Thrush: A fungal infection that leads to painful white patches in the mouth. Slower Healing: Making it harder to recover from oral treatments. Here’s the connection: Uncontrolled blood sugar levels can worsen gum disease, and gum disease can make managing blood sugar harder—a vicious cycle. How to Protect Your Oral and Overall Health: ✔️ Keep your blood sugar levels under control. ✔️ Brush twice a day and floss regularly. ✔️ Visit your dentist for routine check-ups and mention your diabetes. ✔️ Quit smoking—it makes gum disease worse. ✔️ Stay alert for symptoms like swollen gums, dryness, or white patches. As a dentist in White Plains, Tuckahoe, and Riverdale, I’m passionate about helping people with diabetes maintain their oral and overall health. Together, we can create a care plan that keeps your smile healthy and helps you stay in control. #DiabetesAndOralHealth #HealthySmiles #PreventiveCare #WhitePlainsDentist #TuckahoeCare #RiverdaleDentalHealth #DiabetesCare

DO YOU KNOW? The relationship between oral health and diabetes is bidirectional(two way) - poor oral health can increase diabetes risk, and diabetes in turn can worsen oral health. Regular dental checkups, good oral hygiene, and effective diabetes management are important for breaking this cycle. Proper prevention and treatment of periodontal disease may help improve glycemic control and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications for those with diabetes. Likewise, managing diabetes well can help prevent or minimize the development of serious oral health problems. #linkedIncommunity #LunkedInlearning
