Can Dentists Tell If You smoke Sparingly?

Question

I smoked a bit of salvia about 1 week ago, and some other herb 2 weeks ago, prior to that, 2 months before I smoked some salvia, but I was not a hardcore smoker...

Is it likely the Dentists will know what I have smoked, or can they tell that I have smoked even with such Limited use.

Also, Are they legally resposible for telling parents. If so I will admit what I do, however, Not dealing with parents down my back would be more preferable.

Answer 1

Yes, the dentist can tell. Not tell what you smoked or how much or how long. If the dentist says anything - minimize.

Answer 2

I smoke a pack of cigarettes a day and my dentist had to ask if I smoked because they couldn't tell if the stains on my teeth were from coffee or smoking. It depends on the dentist.

Answer 3

Your dentist probably will be able to tell, but probably not what it was that you smoked. That said, if they say anything you can tell them you would like it to be kept confidential under doctor and patient relationship and they probably won't say a word.

Answer 4

If you only smoked as much as you said, no they wont be able to find out.They wont tell your parents either because they won't suspect it.You're worrying too much.If you smoked everyday they would know.
