Abstract
(type = abstract)
Childhood obesity continues to be a major health concern and has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. Overweight in children and adolescents is defined as a body mass index (BMI) between 85th and 95th percentile (CDC, 2016). Childhood obesity is defined as a BMI above 95th percentile (CDC, 2016). The prevalence of obesity among children and adolescents remained stable at about 17% in 2011-2014 (CDC, 2018). Childhood overweight/obesity are associated with many health consequences which include orthopedic, pulmonary, neurologic, gastroenterological, endocrine, and cardiovascular risk factors (Dev, McBride, Fiese, Jones, & Cho, 2013). In 2016, Healthy Futures held a conference that focused on the concept of engaging the oral health community on childhood obesity prevention. Oral health care professionals (OHCPs) have a great opportunity to contribute to the education intervention of childhood obesity because of their access to children and adolescents. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (2013), recommends six-month intervals of examination for children and adolescents or more frequently depending on the individual patient's risk status/susceptibility to disease. Theoretically, the patient sees their OHCP more frequently than their pediatrician which therefore gives them the best opportunity for earlier screening and intervening for overweight/obese children. This pilot project evaluates the appropriateness and feasibility of implementing obesity screening and referral within a pediatric dental clinic.
