Help someone quit smoking today A chairside guide for oral health professionals Once you know that your client smokes, following up with a friendly offer of help has the biggest impact on whether or not they try to quit. The 3-step Brief Advice model for Smoking Cessation (Ask, Advise, Help) is simple and just as effective as longer interventions (e.g. 5As). It is well-accepted by clients and only takes a few minutes, so make it part of your routine practice today.
ASK
ADVISE
HELP
Start the conversation
Personalise and keep it brief
Show support with action
Do you currently smoke? Yes No
Have you smoked in the past? No
Yes
When did you stop? Long time ago
Advise how smoking affects each individual person “When I look in your mouth I can see that you smoke, because…” “I’m concerned that your smoking is putting you at increased risk of gum disease, as well as oral cancer.”
Recently
Great! Do you need any help to stay quit? No
Congratulate and confirm benefits of being smokefree
Advise anyone who smokes to quit in a clear, supportive way, without judgement. “The most important thing you can do for your general and oral health is stop smoking.”
Yes
Advise the best way to quit and stay quit Behavioural intervention (Quitline or other quit smoking service) and Nicotine replacement products or quitting medications
Offer to arrange a referral to Quitline quit.org.au/referral Fax 1800 931 739 Your referral increases client uptake of specialist help and improves their chances of quitting.
Encourage use of nicotine replacement products and quitting medications under the guidance of a GP or pharmacist PBS subsidy is available for some products with a GP prescription.
Offer supportive and self-help resources quit.org.au/resources Offer continued support even if your client isn’t interested in quitting at the moment.
Record details of your conversation and any relevant item codes (e.g. 142, 019). Follow up at subsequent visits.
Asking about smoking WITHOUT OFFERING HELP can decrease a person’s likelihood of quitting.
Clinical opportunities An important part of every medical history and risk assessment • Clinical exam, diagnosis of smoking-related
conditions (e.g. periodontal disease) • Oral cancer screening and detection • Treatment planning and informed consent • When giving post-operative care instructions
Learn more at: education.quit.org.au
• Aesthetic and dry mouth concerns • Implant and complex restorative considerations • When treating pregnant women, as they are particularly open to behaviour change
Help someone quit smoking today Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death and disease in Australia. It is a major risk factor for periodontal disease and oral cancer, and the benefits of quitting are significant. Most people who smoke want to quit, most have already tried to quit, and they expect your help.
Look for opportunities to talk with every client who smokes using the Brief Advice model to guide you. Encourage and congratulate all quitting attempts. Guide your clients towards evidence-based solutions which give them the best chance of success: a combination of behavioural intervention and quitting medications (where appropriate). Offer self-help materials and resources. Document all conversations and remember to follow-up at subsequent visits.
Refer to Quitline Free, specialist telephone counselling service. Your referral improves client access to support. Personalised plans increase quitting success. High level of client satisfaction. Tailored programs for pregnant women, young people and people with mental health conditions. Interpreters and Aboriginal Quit Specialists available. Secure online and fax referral options. Referral feedback provided. Health provider enquiries welcome.

Healthy eating for healthy teeth
Caring for your teeth September 2019
Exam time
When students are time poor, they may choose convenient snacks and meals that are high in sugar or fat. The lead up to school or university exams can be busy and stressful, and diet and oral health can drop down the list of priorities. Eating unhealthy food can lead to poorer exam performance, however there are plenty of healthy options that will fuel the brain, protect the teeth and keep them going! Choose food and drinks low in added sugar Too much added sugar can cause health problems including tooth decay, obesity and diabetes. People may also experience a slump after an initial sugar high. Check product labels to see how much sugar is in them. Packaged products should have less than 10–15g of sugar per 100g and sugar shouldn’t be listed near the top of the ingredient list. Remember that sugar can also be called glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose, corn syrup and more.
Image source: NHMRC
Have calcium for strong teeth and bones Unflavoured milk, cheese and yoghurt contain calcium and other nutrients that keep our teeth and body healthy. Alternative products (e.g. rice or oat milk) may contain less calcium, so choose calcium-fortified options. Dairy and some alternative products such as soy also contain protein, which will keep us fuller for longer.
Healthy options It’s recommended you eat a variety of foods and have satisfying meals to avoid snacking, as snacking increases the risk of tooth decay by not giving the mouth a break from the acids that are produced when we eat. If snacks are needed to get through to a mealtime, plain popcorn, nuts (beware of allergies), whole fruit, or cheese and crackers are good options. Drinking tap water is the best way to stay hydrated. Caffeinated/decaf coffee or tea without added sugar are other options but try to limit these drinks. Many meals are quick and easy, and can be modified depending on how much time you have. Struggling for ideas? Try some of the meal ideas on the next page.

This course aims to refresh and update your knowledge on suturing techniques in relation to commonly found clinical situations. Closing and stabilising wounds satisfactorily is the key to predictable surgical outcomes. Its importance in achieving consistent results is often underestimated. With alternative methods of wound closures such as strips, clips and glues, suturing remains a cornerstone to success. Nearly all surgical procedures require the use of sutures. Whilst simple at its core, achieving good results is unlikely when performed poorly. The instruments that we choose to use, the materials we select and the techniques we employ can have a significant impact on the efficiency and results of treatment. This half-day program combines hands-on exercises and lecture material to review the aim of treatment, the material available and methods for achieving adequate closure in general dental surgical procedures. The hands-on component provides practice and supervision in performing multiple suturing techniques.
Major Topics • Why we suture - flap design, wound stability and its effect on clinical outcome • Suture material, types and their appropriate selection • Hands-on suture techniques in respect to various extraction socket scenarios, coronally advancing flap for closure of OACs, biopsy closures, implant closures, soft tissue augmentation and donor sites and frenectomy Learning Objectives At the conclusion of the program participants should be able to:
