High concentrations of salivary calcium

[Guest guest]

This caught my eye ,high concentrations of salivary calcium [that lead to

calcium deposits on teeth] has been reported by a few notably Penny ...Thing

is where does the calcium originate? is it leached from calcium stocks

[bone]? Would supplementing calcium be beneficial ?

Oral affections are important causes of disorders in diabetes, within them,

periodontal disease is the most common one, which comprises gingivitis and

periodontitis. Dental plaque, high concentrations of salivary calcium and

glucose, hyperglycemia and a lower resistance to infections, are main factor

contributing to periodontal disease, dental caries, mycotic stomatitis and

aphthae. Even though with the most advanced surgical methods and using

antibiotics, systematically, the treatment of periodontal disease is rather

difficult and often unsuccessful, therefore, to prevent it is the best

treatment available, hence the importance of teaching oral health to the

diabetic patient, which should comprise a good metabolic control, right

tooth-brushing and visits to the stomatologist every six months or in the

presence of gingival bleeding or gingival pus emanation. Diabetic condition

is not a contraindication for the extraction of carious dental teeth, on the

contrary, such teeth must be extracted when required or adequately treated.

Yes, very interesting, . My plaque build up seems to happen

while on certain antibiotics. But not all abx result in this.
