  • Title: Tobacco cessation: a practical dental service.
    Author: Crews KM, Gordy FM, Penton-Eklund N, Curran AE, Clay JR.
    Journal: Gen Dent; 1999; 47(5):476-83. PubMed ID: 10687478.
    Abstract:
    Tobacco use is a complex addiction that must be addressed in all aspects of health care. Despite the deleterious and costly outcomes of tobacco use, Americans still are smoking and using smokeless tobacco. Dentists are trained to detect oral lesions and periodontal problems that are related to tobacco use. Dentists also are in a position to help prevent the initiation of tobacco use by children and adolescents through the use of positive anti-tobacco messages. Over the past decade, tobacco cessation strategies have been modified for practical use in the dental setting.
