    Area of Science:

    • Dental Public Health
    • Tobacco Control
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Smoking remains a significant public health concern.
    • Dentists are well-positioned to address tobacco use with patients.
    • Current dental practices for smoking cessation are not well-documented.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess current smoking cessation practices among dentists.
    • To identify barriers and facilitators to providing cessation support in dental settings.
    • To inform strategies for integrating smoking cessation into routine dental care.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was distributed to 391 dentists.
    • The survey assessed dentists' advice on smoking cessation.
    • Practices regarding referrals, materials, and follow-up were investigated.

    Main Results:

    • 71% of dentists advised patients to stop smoking.
    • Most dentists discussed negative health effects.
    • Few dentists provided cessation resources, referrals, or follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • Dentists acknowledge the importance of smoking cessation.
    • There is a gap between advising cessation and providing comprehensive support.
    • Brief interventions and enhanced support integration are needed in dental practices.
