Supports World No Tobacco Day

Love Teeth Quit Smoking Webpage

The Faculty launches a “Love Teeth Quit Smoking” website.

The World Health Organization designates May 31 each year as “World No Tobacco Day” (WNTD). This yearly event aims to raise public awareness about the harmful effects of tobacco consumption and promote healthy lifestyles to protect future generations.

Smoking increases the risk of oral health problems. To support WNTD and promote oral health, the Faculty of Dentistry has launched a “Love Teeth Quit Smoking” webpage with the objective to delivering information on the relationship of smoking and oral diseases such as oral cancer, tooth decay, periodontal disease, tooth loss and tooth discolouration. Through this platform, we hope to bring out the messages of “stay away from tobacco” and “quit smoking”, which not only would benefit our oral health, but also enhance our overall quality of life.
