April 16

My patient today was 16 years old and smokes. He says he hides it from his mom and is not sure why he needs to hide it since his mom smokes as well. I talked to him about smoking cessation and the problems it is having and will have on his teeth and tissues now and in the future. He says he is dropping out of school and his teeth are his last concerns. I still stressed the importance of it.
He had a lot of build up to clean off and in my opinion needed to be a class II but they only gave him to me as a class I. Either way I did finish and hopefully he does consider to stop smoking.
