Area of Science:

  • Dental Public Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Dentists are well-positioned to offer smoking cessation support.
  • Smoking cessation interventions are not routinely integrated into dental care.
  • Research is needed to understand barriers and facilitators for dentists providing smoking cessation advice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify factors influencing dentists' capacity to deliver smoking cessation advice.
  • To explore dentists' current practices and perceived roles in smoking cessation.
  • To assess dentists' training needs for smoking cessation interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative data collection via focus groups and in-depth interviews with dentists.
  • Quantitative data collection through telephone interviews with a random sample of 250 dentists.

  • Assessed dentists' perceived role, current practices, knowledge, and training opinions regarding smoking cessation.

    • Main Results:

    • Dentists express willingness to ask and advise patients about smoking.
    • Dentists are less inclined to provide assistance or arrange follow-up for smoking cessation.
    • Dentists prefer opportunistic interventions over systematic approaches and require relevant training for practice integration.

    Conclusions:

    • Training should validate the dentist's role in smoking cessation.
    • Training should equip dentists with practical strategies and resources for daily practice.
    • Integrating smoking cessation interventions into routine dental care requires targeted educational support.
