Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article aims to give practitioners a framework to help their patients establish lasting and healthy dental habits and eliminate harmful ones. The advice given is practical rather than theoretical in nature, and is intended to assist dentists in the development of the appropriate skills, so as to be able to persuade their patients to change their behaviour and thereby control dental disease.
