stains and a lot of chewing tobacco is cut with menthol so that is cuts the gums to give a faster absorption into the body.. I'm sure a dentist can see the aftermath of that.

Dentists can tell a lot of your habits and whatnot by looking at your mouth, but they won't be able to tell something that you've only done once or twice. For instance, a dentist can tell that a person's been smoking meth for a while because their teeth will be rotten and their gums will be gross... the only way to tell a meth smoker without these signs is the white coating on the front of the tongue. For tobacco chewers, there's always a spot where they hold it in their mouth, and that will get worn and messed up too after chronic use, so a dentist will notice that and be able to tell that a person is a long-term chewer. But I doubt a dentist would notice that you've chewed tobacco a couple times 7 months ago.

Stains on the teeth; little gross pieces of chewing tobacco stuck between the teeth; a wave of new cavities near the gum on the side you use the stuff; white patches on the gums where the chewing tobacco has caused some tissue damage; gum cancer.............. Anything else?

Dr pony boy was right. But I'd like to add something else.
I have seen over and over a gray rough looking area in men (never saw this on a women but there's always a first) where they hold their chaw...I was told by an Oral Surgeon this is almost always pre-cancerous. If you can't quit move your tobacco around, don't hold it in the same place each time. It's the irritation that changes the cells-this is what cancer is, a change in cells.
Good luck,

Besides the conditions that have been given in previous answers, there is often a dramatic change in the gingival/mucosal tissue where the tobacco is held. The tissue often looks whiter and becomes corrugated, that is, it has a bunch of little folds in it. If the tissue becomes cancerous, it may be more red and ulcerated.

Well eventually you could stain your teeth and your gum line around your teeth will deteriorate. keep it up and you may get fascial cancer and your teeth could fall out.
