Commit
Product Use and Benefits
  • Effective smoking cessation therapy which leads to better oral health.

  • Clinical research shows that former smokers and nonsmokers experience improved outcomes from oral procedures versus smokers, including:

    • Improved healing from periodontal surgery2
    • Improved heaing after subgingival scaling and root planing3-4
    • Greater success with implant procedures5-7
  • Periodontal disease progression slows in patients who quit smoking, and these individuals have a similar response to periodontal therapy as nonsmokers.8

  • Commit provides effective quit power even for those who have tried to quit before and relapsed9

  • Commit addresses both withdrawal and situational cravings. Situational cravings can occur long after withdrawal cravings have subsided, and if left untreated, can cause a lapse in as little as 11 minutes. Commit is clinically proven to help relieve situational cravings in just 5 minutes.10
