title: The dietitian as a member of the dental health care team.
abstract: Our short-term pilot study suggests that a dietitian can play an important role in the dental office. Patients, staff, and dentists perceived a need for nutrition counseling in the dental setting that is not presently being met. We suggest that a dietitian might effectively meet this need without putting a financial burden on the practice.
