Your Oral Health and Smoking – dental information for patients
This ADA patient education pamphlet provides dental information on the impact of smoking on oral health. The smoking-related conditions discussed include: gum disease including gingivitis and periodontitis, leukoplakia, oral cancer, smoker’s palate, smoker’s melanosis, hairy tongue and tobacco stains, among others.
This leaflet can be a useful tool for smokers as it outlines the risk factors and how to quit smoking. General tips for quitting, the use of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and bupropion, and relapse prevention are all discussed in detail.
