Very Broad Question: The question is very broad in scope with the limited space available to answer and you would be better off doing a google search for basic information from reputable sources. Better yet, discuss this issue with your own dentist and your endocrinologist or treating physician. The more you can control your blood sugar, the better your periodontal health will be.

If you mean: Proper dental care for diabetics?, people go to there dentist twice a year d for professional cleaning and checkup, my advise to you besides maintaining good oral hygiene through detailed flossing and brushing(diet also help) is to go to the dentist four times a year for cleaning and checkup (quarterly) good luck..

Diabetes : Diabetes and oral, health are connected and can effect each other. Periodontal disease is worse in poorly controlled diabetics. So keep you mouth healthy and see your dentist regularly.
