Abstract

Abstract: In Europe, 29% of individuals identify as smokers, with tobacco use directly related to 650,000 mortalities each year across the continent; roughly 14% of all deaths. From a dental perspective, smoking is directly implicated in numerous chronic, and potentially life-threatening, sequelae which exclusively affect the oral cavity. By familiarizing the dental team with gold-standard cessation advice, it can be ensured that smokers are assisted at every available opportunity. Dentists should aim to give cessation advice to smokers based on how willing they are to change their smoking habit. The authors are developing an online resource to assist with smoking cessation advice. It is available at http://www.smokingcessationtraining.com/

CPD/Clinical Relevance: Dentists will see many smokers regularly, and advice should be given routinely to this cohort of patients. By improving understanding of potential oral sequelae and identifying individuals who may wish to quit, targeted advice can be offered to increase cessation success. Brief patient-centred advice ensures the highest chance of delivering successful smoking cessation, alongside safeguarding time for the dentist to examine and treat the individual.

Article

Dentists find themselves in a privileged position. They can access a part of the body actively affected by smoking, even when the individual is healthy. They should therefore be proactive in delivering smoking cessation advice to prevent the deterioration of oral and indeed general health in these individuals.

This article presents a review of current strategies regarding the need for, and provision of, adequate smoking cessation advice by the dental profession and is split into two parts. This part focuses on the oral implications of smoking, alongside the role of the dentist in eliciting a change toward cessation. This means that there must be a basic understanding of how to implement brief cessation advice. The dentist can then impart knowledge appropriately to the smoker of potential oral sequelae. For example, a smoker noticing that his/her teeth are becoming loose may be a crucial motivating factor in encouraging cessation.

Part 2 focuses on the ‘stages of change’ approach to encourage smoking cessation, continuing a ‘patient-centred’ approach. Knowledge of the ‘stages of change’ model ensures that the dentist offers advice that is appropriate based on the patient's willingness to quit, safeguarding the dentist-patient relationship. It is important that the dentist understands nicotine replacement therapies (NRT), pharmacotherapy and electronic cigarettes to answer any questions which may be fielded by the patient. We have therefore provided simple, yet thorough and appropriate, information within the second article.
