Researchers are testing whether a new checklist of oral (mouth and tooth) signs can help doctors identify people at risk for eating disorders. The study compares this checklist with other validated screening tools to see if it can reliably spot early warning signs. Your participation helps build a better, structured way for dentists to recognize eating disorders during routine dental visits.
Eating disorders can cause visible changes in the mouth, teeth, and gums — like tooth erosion, dry mouth, and gum problems — but dentists don't yet have a standard tool to recognize these signs as potential red flags. This study aims to create that tool so doctors can catch eating disorders earlier, when treatment is often most effective.

You would attend one visit at a participating dental clinic as part of your regular dental care. A trained clinician will conduct a standard intraoral (inside your mouth) exam while completing a checklist of oral signs. You'll also fill out a few short questionnaires about eating habits and behaviors. Everything is collected securely and anonymously — no experimental treatments or extra procedures are involved.
