SDC Diva Update 2011




This is an update on one of SDC's 2011 Divas. Our Diva Barbara has made great progress. Barbara is a diabetic so we had to be careful with how we approached her treatment.We were concerned with how high Barbara's blood sugar levels were. We started by removing badly decayed teeth and treating her periodontal disease. We were concerned that we may not be able to do the implants to replace her missing teeth because her blood sugar levels were so high and we may have to do removable partials instead. We waited to get the okay from her MD. before proceeding .To our amazement Barbara's sugar levels dropped greatly since we treated the infections going on in her mouth. We were able to place the implants and are waiting on healing. We can't wait to see the finished results!
