Type 2 Diabetes and Oral Health – Understanding Periodontitis Level 2 Training Resources

This Level 2 training resource provides health and social care staff with a practical understanding of the important relationship between type 2 diabetes and oral health, with a particular focus on periodontitis.

Based on the 2022 NICE recommendations and supporting evidence, the resource explores why people with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of periodontitis, possible signs and symptoms to look out for, the importance of regular oral health reviews, how periodontal health can affect diabetes control, and how staff can support good oral hygiene and appropriate dental care.

The presentation includes clear explanations, a practical case study, knowledge checks, reflection and key messages, with a strong focus on person-centred support, recognising concerns, reporting appropriately and working within staff competence.

This resource is designed for health and social care settings and is fully editable, allowing trainers and providers to adapt the materials to meet their own organisational policies, procedures and training requirements.
