End The Disease of Tobacco Addiction
The dental office is not the place most people think of when they want to quit smoking. Smoking affects the health of your mouth. It contributes to tooth stain, gum disease, and oral cancer. Tobacco kills half the people who use it as the manufacturer directs. Unfortunately, most dentists are not trained on how to help a patient stop smoking. However, Virginia provides a great website to help you quit.
Web Coaching may prove to be just as effective as working with a physician. We’ll find out in the next Cochrane report.
