Type 2 diabetic individuals with severe form of periodontal disease have 3.2 times greater mortality risk compared with individuals with no or mild periodontitis.

Meet Dr. Biebuyck! He is a specialist in Dental Implants and Periodontics, with three years of specialty training at Tufts School of Dental Medicine.
