ABSTRACT
Diabetes is one of the major non-infective diseases, which is increasing globally. The increasingly sedentary lifestyle adopted by majority of the population along with unscientific food habits is the major contributing factors in it except in people with Type 1 diabetes mellitus. Unfortunately, in the Indian scenario, dental diseases are still neglected by a large percentage of the population unless it starts hampering the routine lifestyle of a person. This article reflects on the dangerous association between diabetes mellitus and dental problems and the importance to manage both the issues early without neglecting it.
