Do You Want To Give Up?
You may wonder why we as a Dental Practice would want to get involved in helping people to give up smoking, our dentally motivated reasons are:
- Many people don’t realise the damage smoking does to their mouth, gums and teeth.
- Smoking can lead to tooth staining, gum disease, tooth loss and in more severe cases mouth cancer.
The Cessation Clinic is being run at the Practice by Rachel Prentice, one of our dental nurses, who has had intensive training to become an advisor.
It
is a FREE confidential
service which is able to offer you one to one support, encouragement and advice. Evidence shows that this kind of support, combined with Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT), can double long-term quit rates.
There are lots of NRT products available and they are all effective. They work by helping you manage your withdrawal symptoms. The product which you would be prescribed would be tailored to suit your own individual needs.

The Smoking Cessation Clinic is being held on a Friday afternoon between 1-30pm and 5-00pm. If you want to give up smoking and would like our support all you need to do is leave your name and contact number with Julie or Jessica on Reception who will pass your details on.
Rachel will then contact you personally and make your first appointment . This lasts for approximately thirty minutes, in which time Rachel will discuss your needs and provide you with the maximum amount of help and advice.
You will then have follow-up appointments to give you additional support and encouragement.
