title: More help for patients trying to become tobacco-free.
abstract: We must remember that we are the oral health experts. Patients must be assured of this fact. They expect us to know the facts and provide the care and advice necessary to keep their oral health in optimal condition. We have a responsibility to inform all patients that tobacco use will cause damage to their oral health. The two new resources outlined here for helping patients become tobacco-free will increase our ability to provide quality oral health care and improve oral health literacy.
