Are You Getting Smoke Signals?

So when a smoker says they'd like to quit, are you ready to help? Do you know how to go about it? Now, with the help of our new concise course, Tobacco Intervention in Dental Practice: Helping Your Patients Stop Tobacco Use, you can do it!

With this course you'll learn how to help your patients determine a quit date; when to follow them up; what to do when they relapse; what to say about weight gain; where to send them for additional support and self-help materials; and how to integrate brief counseling into the office visit (per the ADA procedure code for tobacco intervention).

Nicotine replacement therapy, most important for quitting success, is explained in detail, along with the available FDA-approved product choices: nicotine gum, inhaler, patch, lozenge, nasal spray, and Buproprion SR. Prescribing suggestions, side effects, and contraindications for each are all explained in this easy-to-read course.
