Can a deep dental cleaning help your heart and blood sugar?
NCT ID NCT04954313
Summary
This study tested whether professional deep dental cleaning for gum disease could improve oral health and if those improvements were linked to better markers for heart health and blood sugar control. It involved about 200 adults who already had heart disease or type 2 diabetes (or prediabetes) and gum disease. Researchers compared a group that received the deep cleaning and oral hygiene advice to a group that did not, measuring changes in both gum health and body-wide health indicators over time.
