LONDON, England: Routine dental appointments may offer a practical opportunity to identify undiagnosed diabetes risk, according to new research from King’s College London. The study examined the use of chairside screening in a dental setting and suggests that rapid, non-fasting testing could help dental teams flag patients with possible prediabetes or diabetes and thereby support earlier intervention. Its findings strengthen the case for dental settings as a screening touchpoint while also prompting important questions about which patients are most appropriate to test.
