In 1998, the UK government published a White Paper outlining a comprehensive range of measures to reduce smoking rates across the population. In the same year a detailed overview of the evidence base for smoking cessation activities within the NHS was published. Both these documents provide useful information for health professionals interested in developing their roles in smoking cessation and prevention. An increased risk for the development of oral malignancies and a susceptibility for the breakdown of periodontal tissues are the most significant effects of smoking on the mouth. This paper aims to highlight how dentists and their team members can become actively involved in efforts to reduce smoking. Opportunities at both a clinical and public health level are considered.
BACKGROUND: Many dentists say that staff-related issues, not clinical dentistry, are the number one cause of stress in their offices. OVERVIEW: To help avoid staffing problems and the resultant stress, the author suggests that dentists take the time to identify their specific staffing needs and create job descriptions to prepare for interviewing potential staff members. She provides guidelines for the planning and interviewing processes. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Taking the time to hire the right staff members will help dentists create a productive environment that will benefit them, their staff members and their patients.
