Your gums belong in
your diabetes care plan.
The connection goes both ways. Diabetes can affect your mouth, and gum disease can make blood sugar harder to manage.
Gum disease matters, too.
Gum disease can make diabetes harder to manage. Treating it may help blood sugar over time, alongside your medical care.
Keep your care connected.
Tell your dentist about your diabetes and medicines. Brush, clean between your teeth and keep your regular dental exams and professional cleanings.

About the gum-health connection
Diabetes and gum disease can affect each other. CDC guidance notes that treating gum disease may help blood sugar over time. Dental treatment may require professional cleaning or other in-person care. Oral-care products are not a substitute for diabetes medicines, glucose monitoring or your medical care plan.

No. OneOral provides oral-health care alongside your medical care. Continue your prescribed diabetes medicines, glucose monitoring and medical appointments. Your doctor guides changes to diabetes treatment.
Treating gum disease may help blood sugar over time, according to the CDC. That refers to appropriate dental treatment, which can include professional care. It is not a promise that a OneOral kit will lower your blood sugar. Read the CDC overview ↗
No. The optional saliva test looks for selected oral microbes and measures features of your saliva. It does not measure blood glucose or A1C, or diagnose diabetes. Testing is priced separately.
Share your diabetes diagnosis, medicines, recent blood sugar changes and any bleeding gums, dryness or slow healing. Keep your regular dental exams and professional cleanings.
There are three plans. OneOral is $9.99/month: message a licensed dentist and share photos, get ongoing dentist check-ins, and pay member prices on kits, whitening and gum. Nothing ships automatically on it. OneOral+ is $29.99/month and adds a Treatment Box (CariFree Maintenance Rinse and Gel 1100 toothpaste) every 3 months with free shipping. Power Pack is $44.99/month: the Treatment Box plus whitening, energy gum and breath mints or oral spray. Sales tax is added where it applies.
OneOral renews monthly; cancelling stops the next renewal and access continues until the end of the period you paid for. OneOral+ and Power Pack bill monthly in cycles of 3 payments per box. Cancelling stops the next cycle and its box; the remaining payments for the current cycle are still collected on their normal dates. Full details are in the plan terms.
Start by sending a photo or describing what’s going on. With a membership you can message a licensed dentist about it. OneOral is designed for most adults and complements — never replaces — your regular in-person checkups.
No. OneOral is not insurance and you don’t need any. Each plan is a flat monthly price, plus sales tax where it applies.
On any plan you can message a licensed dentist and share photos. On OneOral+ and Power Pack, your first box ships once your first payment is made. The Treatment Box (and Power Pack’s mints or spray) then ships every 3 months; Power Pack’s whitening and energy gum ship every 6 months. Shipping is free, to US addresses only.
When clinically appropriate and permitted for your situation, a licensed dentist can send a prescription to your local pharmacy for pickup. Prescriptions are not guaranteed. Pharmacy charges may apply; some concerns require in-person dental treatment.
