Your dentist may be the first to detect your diabetes — before you even know it.

A new study from King’s College London, published in the Journal of Dentistry, found that simple chairside HbA1c testing in dental clinics identified a significant number of patients with undiagnosed prediabetes and diabetes. Nearly one in three patients had elevated blood sugar levels without being aware of it.

Researchers also observed a clear trend: HbA1c levels increased as gum disease progressed from healthy gums to gingivitis to periodontitis. This reinforces what we know in modern dentistry — periodontal inflammation and blood glucose control are biologically connected.

Why this matters: many people see their dentist more regularly than their physician. A routine periodontal exam combined with chairside diabetes screening could become a powerful early-detection tool, reducing long-term complications and supporting whole-body health.

Oral health is no longer isolated from systemic health. The dental chair may be one of the most important checkpoints for identifying hidden metabolic risk.
