Smoking cessation counselling is an important and essential role for the dental professionals ? Do we know the best practice, the current activity at GDP level and the barriers ? Is it worth to introduce in GDP and ask for NHS finance? Are we ready to do it, do we have enough time to do it ?
I'm sorry, this may just be a problem with the use of English, but wouldn't we be more useful monitoring and/or promoting general health than "preventing" it?
I have changed the subject title of this question to avoid further confusion as I am sure the website member meant "promoting better general health in dental practice" than "prevention of general health in dental practice".
