Dental Clinic Based Behavioural Intervention in Promoting Tobacco Cessation

The Department of Public Health Dentistry conducted a Webinar on 5th January 2022 entitled “Dental Clinic Based Behavioural Intervention in Promoting Tobacco Cessation” by Dr. Aruna DS, Professor, Dept of Public Health Dentistry, PGD Health Promotion, CTCS. There were about 61 participants from various other colleges and also from our college too (Faculty, post graduate students and Interns). The speaker shared her valuable knowledge and experience on behavioural intervention in tobacco cessation and role of dentist in promotion of tobacco cessation. She has discussed on various health education models and various coping strategies during relapse. We hope that this small step would remodel the practice in to an inclusive one and encourage dentists to effectively participate in tobacco cessation counselling.
