As a dental practice you may be surprised to hear that we can now offer you help in stopping smoking. With more people every year getting help to stub out, we are pleased to now be able to refer you to a local stop smoking service.
We all know that smoking is bad for your health and wealth but we recently had some smoking cessation training at the dentist and were surprised to learn a few new things.
‘Smoking thickens your blood and makes it much harder to carry oxygen’
‘Smoking increases the build up of plaque and tartar on the teeth’
‘Every year after the age of 30 that you smoke you take 3 months off of your life’
If you would like help on stopping smoking please discuss it at your next dental health check. Or to find out more please visit- http://www.nhs.uk/smokefree.
