Summary
This study tests whether simple text messages and online activities can encourage people with Type 2 Diabetes to get more preventive dental care, like cleanings, instead of waiting for expensive treatments. Researchers will track dental insurance claims from 10,000 adults over 18 who already have diabetes. The goal is to see if this low-cost approach improves oral health and reduces the need for procedures like fillings or gum surgery.
