Core Tip	The real-world cohort study by Lin et al demonstrates that adding traditional medicinal herbs to standard diabetes care reduces the incidence of periodontitis and the use of dental ambulatory services. Herbal therapies may modulate inflammation and promote bone remodeling, providing a safe, cost-effective, and integrative strategy to manage oral complications in patients with type 2 diabetes.
