Hartford Courant: Connecticut’s Failing Grade in Tobacco Concerns Local Dentists

Connecticut dentists, today, expressed their concern about tobacco use in the state, prompted by a new report from the American Lung Association, which issued the state of Connecticut an "F" in its efforts to help low-income residents quit smoking.

"The fact that the state received a failing grade in helping people to quit using tobacco products is of great concern," said Dr. Jon Davis, President of the Connecticut State Dental Association (CSDA). "As dentists, we've seen how smoking and tobacco products can be harmful to a person's oral health. That's why the CSDA is committed to educating the public about the dangers of tobacco use and the importance of early detection in diagnosing and treating oral cancer."
