How do I know if I have damage to my teeth and gums?

If you have one or more of these problems, you may have tooth and gum damage from diabetes:

• Red, sore, swollen gums.
• Bleeding gums.
• Gums pulling away from your teeth so your teeth look long.
• Loose or sensitive teeth.
• Bad breath.
• A bite that feels different.
• Dentures (false teeth) that do not fit well.
