Diabetes is a growing medical problem, not only in the US but globally. The individual with diabetes often has numerous other medical complications due to the inability to control blood glucose. Of particular interest to the dental profession is the fact that poor oral health can impact control of blood glucose, and that individuals with diabetes are more prone to developing periodontal disease than someone without diabetes. This seminar will provide an overview of the diabetes medical condition, the role that oral health plays and steps that we can take as dental professionals to manage our patients with diabetes. Colgate has long been on the forefront of educating dental professionals about the association between oral health problems and diabetes. This presentation about the Diabetic-Dental Connection is of interest to our dental team, especially our hygienists. Many patients are asking us about this connection as they frequently read about it in the news. We need to be able to answer these questions with up-to-date scientific answers that will be presented at this seminar.
