Conference

The ODA Oral Health Strategy Adviosry Committee, in partnership with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, presents
Essential Strategies for Tobacco Cessation
in Dental Practice
At the 2016 Annual Spring Meeting
A PROGRAM OF TWO LECTURES AND A WORKSHOP.
Have you ever hesitated to raise the topic of smoking with your patients? That your advice to patients about smoking is met with
opposition or non-adherence?
Tobacco use kills 37,000 Canadians annually. Dentists can play an important role in motivating health behaviour change and
providing evidence-based treatment to patients who use tobacco. The Oral Health Strategy (OHS) Advisory Committee is pleased
to once again offer a program from the TEACH project, the internationally recoginzed tobacco cessation program developed by the
Centre for Addition and Mental Health.
TEACH (Training Enhancement in Applied Cessation Counselling and Health) aims to ensure that practitioners who serve people who
use tobacco have the specialized knowledge and skills to deliver effective, evidence-based cessation intervention. This program
will help you develop a cooperative treatment plan with your patient using best practices in pharmacological and motivational
interventions.
Attendees who complete the entire program
will receive a “Certificate of Completion” from
CAMH/TEACH.
