The eating disorders: 2. Behavioural and dental management.
The eating disorders are a group of related but distinct disturbances in eating behaviour with wide-ranging effects. The first part in this series described the scientific background, clinical features and impact upon oro-dental health. This second part discusses behavioural and dental management.


CONCLUSIONS
Dentists should have knowledge of the behavioural management of eating disorders (ED), especially if their ED patients are seeing other healthcare professionals. Dentists with this understanding may better engage with an ED patient in order to provide successful dental management within an overall holistic approach to patient care.
