Summary
This study looks at whether giving smokers information about how smoking affects their teeth and gums can help them quit. Over 1,000 people who smoke at least 10 cigarettes a day and visit a dental clinic took part. Researchers want to find new ways to support quitting by using dental visits as a teachable moment.
