Frequently Asked Questions
Why should a dental practice offer tobacco cessation counseling?
Dental professionals are uniquely positioned to intervene because they have regular patient contact and can directly observe the oral health damage caused by tobacco. Offering this service improves treatment outcomes for procedures like implants and periodontal therapy, enhances the practice's reputation, and opens new revenue streams.
What is the 5A's framework?
The 5A's (Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist, Arrange) is the evidence-based gold standard for tobacco cessation intervention. It provides a systematic and comprehensive framework for dental professionals to identify tobacco users, provide motivation, and offer support and follow-up in a way that fits into the routine dental workflow.
What kind of results can patients expect?
Patients can expect significant health benefits. Within 5 years of quitting, the risk of oral cancer can be reduced by 50%. Healing after surgery is enhanced by 75%, and periodontal treatment outcomes improve by 90%. There are also extensive systemic health benefits, including reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
What technology is used to support patients?
We use a suite of digital tools, including HIPAA-compliant video platforms for remote counseling, mobile apps for craving management and progress tracking, biomarker monitors (like CO monitors) for objective feedback, and AI-powered chatbots for 24/7 support.
