(HealthDay News) -- Diabetes and gum disease can go hand-in-hand, each making the other worse.
The American Diabetes Association mentions these warning signs of gum disease:
· Gums that bleed after flossing or brushing.
· Tenderness, swelling or redness of the gums.
· Receding gums that make nearby teeth appear longer.
· Bad breath.
· Pus that emerges when you press against the gum.
· Loose or moving permanent teeth.
· Changes affecting the alignment of your bite, or the fit of your dentures or bridge.
