Abstract

Objectives: The purposes of this study were to investigate smoking prevalence rate of the dentists in Seoul and quit-smoking counselling activity for patients in dental clinics. Methods: The 1,695 dentists who registered Seoul Dental Association Meeting in 2003 were recruited as subjects. Questionnaire survey was performed about current smoking prevalence rate, past smoking prevalence rate, and smoking cessation counselling activity in dental clinic. Results: 23.6% of dentists were current smokers, smoking rate in male dentists was 32.3%, and female dentists were 0.4%. Among ex-smokers, 38.2% had smoked 6-10 cigarettes per day, and 25.4% had smoked 16-20 cigarettes per day. 32.6% of total ex-smokers had smoked for 6-10 years. The reasons of quit-smoking were due to health condition's worse 39.8%, harmful to health 20.9%, and influence to health of family 13.2%. 76.8% of the smokers had tried to quit smoking, 26.0% had attempted to quit smoking for 1 week, and 85.4% had planned to quit smoking. In smoking cessation counselling activity, only 29.4% of dentists would advise to quit smoking. However, 62.7% intended to advise to quit smoking but they have no idea about quit smoking program, and 7.9% had no intention of advising to quit smoking. Conclusions: Smoking prevalence rate of Korean dentists was still high compared with Western countries. Therefore, Seoul Dental Association must carry out stronger quit smoking movement to dental practitioners.
