The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, in collaboration with Dental Council of India and World Health Organisations has made plans to involve Dental Colleges of the Country to partner in tobacco cessation initiative. Operational Guidelines for the purpose has already been released.
The Global trends of oral diseases are witnessing a paradigm shift with the rising numbers of oral cancers. Dental Health Care Providers have an immense potential that needs to be channelized strategically. There should be Consistent identification, documentation and treatment of every tobacco user at each visit to the hospital. Effective treatment should be offered to all tobacco users. Consequently, establishing tobacco cessation clinics in dental institutions would be a stepping stone towards oral cancer prevention.
The Dental Institutions can be instrumental in rendering behavioural and pharmacological interventions along with dental care to facilitate changes in tobacco users’ behaviour. It would also strengthen the Dental Council of India and National Tobacco Control Program, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India role and strategies to promote tobacco control and render tobacco cessation services.
