Dear Colleagues,

NAQC is excited to partner with the American Dental Association (ADA) on a free live two-part webinar series,and implementation guide designed to help oral health providers understand dental care teams' role in supporting tobacco cessation. Oral health providers are encouraged to promote tobacco cessation by talking with patients, providing education, offering FDA-approved medications, and referring patients to state quitlines or other community resources.

We encourage you to attend the live webinars; ADA will make the recordings available for a fee.

In preparation for the webinars, please ensure that your quitline map information is current (especially the “provider referral program” section). To make changes to the quitline map profile, please click here.
