Abstract

Diabetes, a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels, affects millions of people worldwide. While it primarily impacts the body’s ability to regulate glucose, its repercussions extend far beyond blood sugar control. One often-overlooked aspect of diabetes management is its significant impact on oral health. In this article, we explore the intricate relationship between dentistry and diabetes, shedding light on how these two fields intersect and offering insights into effective oral health management for individuals with diabetes.
