Dentures with Diabetes

Last Wednesday I had my grandpa come in and he has a full upper denture plus diabetes, plus a million other health issues. It took my over an hour just to fill out the health history. He had 13 different medicines he was taking but he didn't know what each of them were for so I had to look them all up and group them together before I could write them in the chart. It was exhausting!! The denture was really easy to clean and he didn't have any stains or calculus on it so I just soaked it in the solution for the whole appointment. I did PA's on all his remaining mandibular teeth so I could check the bone levels. I also got to do the blood glucose test and that went really well. I was a little nervous about it, but he guided me through it since he's used to poking himself.
