Five-minute nutrition workup for children in dental practice
1University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Abstract:
Overweight and obesity are significant health concerns for children in the United States; however, dentists can provide a nutrition workup for their patients as part of the effort to address this issue. A child's weight status can be assessed after measuring the child's height and weight without the need to compute body mass index. At that point, 5 nutrition- and health-related items can be discussed with patients and parents. Both can be accomplished in just a few minutes. Evidence-based nutrition guidance can be integrated into contemporary nutrition counseling for caries prevention in a seamless manner without negative connotations regarding a patient's weight.
