Cancer is the leading cause of mortality and a significant impediment to extending life expectancy worldwide. Its burden is expanding unbalanced in low and middle-income nations. It ranks 17th most common cancer worldwide related to a number of risk factors and putative causative agents, including tobacco and alcohol use, betel quid chewing, the human papillomavirus, syphilis, candidiasis, nutritional deficiencies, and dental trauma. There were more than 170.000 deaths per year during 2020 caused by cancer. This research was analytic observational taken at RSU Anna Medika Madura, Bangkalan, East Java, Indonesia, in November 2021. Socialization was delivered to a total of 24 people using zoom meeting (indirectly). There were some questions divided into two sections: pre-socialization (pre-test) before the socialization and post-socialization (post-test) after the socialization. There were significant results achieved regarding public comprehension of the consequences of smoking on the incidence of oral cancer after socialization. Peoples’ understanding before socialization is around 45.4% and after receiving counseling is 86.36% with p value = 0.000 using Wilcoxon signed rank test. These data suggest that dentists, especially Oral and Maxillofacial Pathologists, have the potential ability to inspire patients to quit smoking so this chance to improve the community's dental and overall health.
