American Diabetes Association Alert Day

You may be wondering why our dental professionals at Mansouri Family Dental Care & Associates care about the American Diabetes Association Alert Day. The reason we care about this day is that research indicates that there is an increased prevalence of gum disease among those with diabetes. This data makes the issue important to us.

The American Diabetes Association Alert Day is a day to sound the alarm about the prevalence of type 2 diabetes by asking everyone to take the Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test. You can read more about this important day and discover if you are at risk for this type of diabetes. Learn more about it here.
