title: Oral health screening guidelines for nondental health care providers.
abstract: Clues identified in oral health screening can be associated with medical conditions, medical treatments, and overall health status. Thorough oral health screening involves not only talking with the patient, but touching and exploring the mouth. Oral health screening expands the role of dietitians in improving the nutritional and dietary practices of clients.
