Oral cancer, periodontitis, reduced response to periodontal therapy, implant failure, tooth loss, dental caries, delayed wound healing, chronic candidiasis, staining, halitosis and premalignant tissue alteration are all caused or linked to smoking and smokeless tobacco use. Importantly, smoking cessation therapies (both brief and extensive) have been proved to be a very cost-effective method of prolonging life and lowering disease. Health care providers, notably dentists and dental hygienists, are responsible for providing smoking cessation care to individuals with oral difficulties. The purpose of this research was to review the available information about the effectiveness of dental practitioners in smoking cessation interventional programs. According to the existing literature, dental practitioners can play an essential role in the control and spread of tobacco-related oral disorders by including smoking cessation interventional programs. The negative health impacts of tobacco use as well as the benefits of quitting tobacco use and tobacco cessation counselling, should all be part of the dentist office's arsenal. Dental professionals are in a unique position to assist tobacco users seeking dental care by assisting them in quitting smoking.
