Dr. Stelmach Welcomes Patients with Diabetes

Excellent dental care is particularly important for those who live with diabetes. This is because issue with out-of-control blood sugars make oral health problems more likely to arise. Why? Because uncontrolled diabetes impairs white blood cells, which are the body's main defense against bacterial infections that can occur in the mouth.

Our practice becomes an active partner with patients who have diabetes. Our goal is to ensure their ability to maintain the best possible oral heath. Here are just a few elements of the individualized care  we provide.

• At each visit to our Beverly Hills Dental Office, we ask about the status of your diabetes. We inquire about the details, from your current blood sugar levels to your most recent hypoglycemic episode to when you took your last does of insulin if it is taken.

• When booking your appointment, we’ll remind you to see your diabetes doctor before any periodontal treatment, and if your dental care plan calls for oral surgery we will work with you to properly schedule any pre-surgical antibiotics into your meal schedule and insulin schedule, if you take it.

• We keep your diabetes doctor's name and phone number in your personal file, readily accessible should any questions or concerns arise.

• We work with you on scheduling, understanding you might need flexibility if your blood sugar is not in good control.
  
  
• We are diligent in keeping you on schedule for regular dental cleanings and provide helpful ongoing education in how to prevent plaque buildup on your teeth.

Unfortunately, diabetes has sometimes created significant dental complications up to and including tooth loss. But we want you to know that our Beverly Hills cosmetic dental practice specializes in creating, restoring and maintaining beautiful healthy smiles.
