This webinar will discuss the role of the dental clinician and tobacco cessation in their patients. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 

  • Discuss the tobacco problem.

  • Know the 2 A's and R system.

  • Understand resources available, and how to refer to Quit Line programs.

  • Promote tobacco cessation motivation in the dental practice.
