Question
Is toothache after every meal related to diabetes?
Answer
Diabetes itself usually does not directly cause toothache. Toothache may be due to poor oral hygiene, tooth decay, gingivitis, or other oral diseases. However, due to poor blood sugar control, diabetics may be more susceptible to oral infections, which can sometimes lead to toothache. It is recommended that you visit a dentist for a check-up and also have your blood sugar levels checked to ensure that diabetes is well controlled.
