Dental professionals have a tempting new alternative to try and persuade patients to quit smoking: sugar-free lollipops may help to overcome the oral fixation. After quitting, many smokers search for alternative products to help satisfy the hand-to-mouth fixation of cigarettes. Lollipops are often preferred because they offer a cigarette-like sucking sensation.

Millions of smokers visit a dentist every year for a dental check-up. Members of the dental team can therefore play a major role in helping people give up smoking. While it is recommended to advise patients to swap their cigarettes for lollipops, be sure to endorse a toothfriendly alternative.

Toothfriendly International is supporting quitters with their sugar-free lollipops. To claim your free toothfriendly lollipop kit, send your name and delivery address to contact@toothfriendly.ch.
