As dentists, we are in a perfect position to provide help for people who want to quit smoking.

Using “very brief advice” (VBA), a simple form designed to be completed in less than 30 seconds, is one way in which our team can raise the issue of smoking and tobacco use. It can be used in any consultation with a tobacco user, followed by signposting you to services to help you quit.

It is essential for us to tell you the risks of smoking and help you to quit by giving you the best information and support. By stopping smoking your oral health will benefit very quickly.
