How can clinicians apply How can smoking influence my patient’s oral wellbeing??

DentalReach Evidence Review:

Shared decision-making should cover benefit, uncertainty, alternatives, maintenance and the consequence of no treatment, especially before irreversible care.

DentalReach Critical Appraisal:

People are aware that smoking is terrible for their wellbeing. It can lead to a wide range of clinical issues and, at times, deadly infections.. Application requires confirmation of diagnosis, baseline risk, realistic benefit, alternatives, potential harm and a defined review plan.

DentalReach Clinical Contributor:

A recommendation is clinically useful only when the patient group, intervention, comparator, outcome and follow-up are clearly defined.
