Webinar: Identifying Early Signs of Eating Disorders: Key Insight in

the Dental Office

 

 

 

People of all ages, races, and backgrounds are affected by eating disorders. If left untreated, the destructive dietary habits may lead to serious systemic health complications, irreversible bodily harm, and death. Early identification and intervention are the most important factors in improving long-term outcomes.

While many physical manifestations present late in disease progression, there are multiple oral manifestations which can be identified earlier in the course. Thus, oral healthcare specialists are uniquely positioned to screen for these early signs and expedite multidisciplinary intervention.

By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:

• Differentiate types of eating disorders
• Evaluate the effect of early intervention on long-term outcomes
• Compare multiple oral and systemic manifestations and their time of onset
• Identify patient-based and provider-based obstacles to screening in a dental setting
• Summarize the unique ways in which oral healthcare providers can promote early identification
