Abstract:
This study surveyed 400 dentists to determine their current practices with patients who smoke. Although dentists are aware of the importance of counselling patients on the cessation of smoking, they need to take a more active role in these activities. Current evidence suggests that even brief counselling interventions can help some patients stop smoking.
