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 with 3 main 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.
Your Voice Matters
Help us in our advocacy efforts and shine a light on the oral health challenges faced by our T1D warrior.

Your responses will be presented to our congressional representatives & to the leaders at the local & state dental societies.
