The VDHA contact for Tobacco Cessation is Maureen Glick.
“Oral health screenings provide a unique opportunity to give patients information that could save their lives—and to place dental hygiene on the front line of smoking cessation intervention. The advice of a dental hygienist can be a major motivation for a quit attempt by a patient who smokes.”
Tammi O. Byrd, RDH, ADHA past president
