“…Only 30% of patients had received such advice. Oral health professionals have an important role in contributing to the tobacco‐dependence treatment of patients who visit dental clinics . Professional societies of Indonesia need to engage with all registered dentists to provide brief tobacco‐cessation advice to their patients at every opportunity.…”

Aim The aim of the present study was to investigate the awareness of oral cancer among adults in Jakarta, Indonesia, and explore the factors influencing it. Methods A previously‐tested questionnaire on 1000 adults in Jakarta was used in the present study. The data included sociodemographic factors and answers to assess the awareness of oral cancer, early signs and symptoms, risks factors, lifestyles, and history of dental visits. Results Only 53.2% of participants were aware of oral cancer. The level of awareness significantly differed by level of education, occupation, and experience of dental visits. Only 30% of patients had been asked about their tobacco and alcohol habits, and had been informed about the hazards of these by their dentists. All of the smokers knew that tobacco increased the risk for oral cancer. However, only a few participants considered alcohol, betel quid chewing, UV light exposure, poor diet, and genetics to play role in the development of oral cancer. Health warnings were the main source of information about oral cancer; the role of health professionals is still quite low and needs to be emphasized. Conclusion Oral cancer awareness is still low among adults in Jakarta; this finding was consistent with other studies conducted in Asia. Educational material suited to particular communities is warranted.

“…A recent questionnaire-based survey in Japan suggested that patients who are willing to quit smoking are likely to accept tobacco cessation counselling and treatment in a dental setting. 6 This will undoubtedly expand the duties of oral health professionals (OHPs) if tobacco cessation counselling is included under the treatment of dental patients covered by national health insurance. Smoking-related oral diseases and disorders include oral cancer, oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs), periodontal disease, implant failure, and other benign mucosal disorders (eg, oral pigmentation, nicotine stomatitis).…”
