Smoking cessation is the process of quitting smoking. It can be difficult to quit smoking on your own, so many people seek help from healthcare professionals. Dentists are one type of healthcare professional who can help people quit smoking.
Dentists are trained to provide smoking cessation counseling and support. They can help you develop a quit plan, set a quit date, and provide you with resources to help you quit. Dentists can also prescribe medications to help you quit smoking, such as nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and varenicline.
