T1D Oral Health Foundation

Let’s Keep Our Warriors Smiling!!!

Children and adults living with Type 1 Diabetes face unique and often underestimated oral health risks—blood sugar fluctuations, nighttime low corrections, immune system shifts, and metabolic challenges can all compromise dental/oral health in ways that are not frequently discussed.

The T1D Oral Health Foundation exists to change that narrative.

We have 3 core objectives:

Education - to equip families, providers, and communities with practical, science-based knowledge.

Awareness - to spotlight the critical link between diabetes and oral health.

Advocacy - to ensure this vulnerable population receives the attention, care, and policy support they deserve.

Because every smile tells a story—and every one with T1D should smile with confidence—and thrive.

Your Voice Matters
