LOUGHBOROUGH, UK: In response to the global obesity crisis and its proven connection to oral health, researchers from Loughborough University have conducted a first-of-its-kind study that explored both dental professionals’ and the public’s perspectives on integrating weight management interventions within the dental setting. Even though the research team identified potential barriers, the study results showed that weight screenings are generally well received by patients. For establishing weight screenings in dental practices on a large scale, increased training of dental teams and guidelines are needed.
