Hi Dr Dunn, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes around 1 year ago which was a big shock. I have heard a few times that gum disease and diabetes are linked somehow? Do you know anything about this? My gums are very red and sore, bleeding occasionally but I have good hygiene in my mouth, clean 2 times a day and floss!! Is there any special medicine or toothpaste I can take for my problems? or what do you suggest? Cheers thank you Ian.
