Abstract
Surveys of independent dental practitioners and health maintenance organization (HMO) dentists and their adult male patients in Oregon found that cessation information and advice was being given to tobacco-using patients, especially smokeless tobacco users, and that the tobacco users surveyed expressed interest in obtaining help to quit. Oral health providers expressed an interest in further training in how to help their tobacco-using patients to quit.
