Abstract

This paper reviews on the role of dentists in smoking cessation, focusing in counselling and short intervention. It does not seem to be necessary for the dentist to be knowdegeable on the different treatments and to provide them at his/her practice, although the dental office seems to meet all requirements to undertake effective tobacco-cessation therapies. In case the dentist decides not to treat tobacco addiction, adequate advice should be provided and the patient offered leaflets on how to quit smoking in order to help him/her until seen at a tobacco control unit.
