Dentists advise on quitting smoking is beneficial
Dentists and smokers seem to have a better understanding in helping to quit smoking. Dental specialists have been appointed to help patients quit smoking.

The authors examined the correlation between smoking cessation advice from dental professionals and the behavior of adult smokers in general.
