A dentist has warned that a number of early signs of diabetes can materialise in the mouth.
Rizwan Mahmood says fruity smelling breath and a dry mouth are just two of the red flags that could indicate a person has the condition. The dentist at Rüh Dental says many symptoms manifest in the mouth first, which is why it should be the initial port of call when looking for warning signs.
"As dentists we are at the forefront of spotting serious health conditions, like diabetes, which can be developing in the body without the host’s knowledge, he added. "This is why people should visit their dentist at least twice a year for check-ups and cleaning.
