Congratulations to Jessica Large on her new paper looking at public acceptance of weight screening and interventions at the dentist with Amanda Daley, Claire Madigan and Andrea Roalfe in The Obesity Society. We surveyed 3580 adults across the UK and found that 60% support weight screening at dental check-ups, and 57% would find it acceptable to be offered weight management interventions by their dental team. Males and participants of non-white ethnicity were nearly twice as likely to accept this support, these groups typically engage less with weight loss programmes so this could be a valuable way to engage more people with weight management support. 84% of adults thought that information about local weight management programmes was the most acceptable way for dental teams to support them, however 67% of parents would prefer that their children were referred to their GP for support. Workforce training and linking dental professionals in with other healthcare and weight management services is important to support discussions around weight in dental settings.
