Can a dentist tell if you smoke?
Yes, if you have extended cigarette use, your Dentist will be able to tell by the color and decay of your gums. ChaCha it up!

Well you can tell if a person has been smoking alot. But if you smoke rarely and brush regularly a dentist wont know if you smoke.

Smoking causes damage and discoloring on your teeth and gums that a dentist can see.

Yes. Tobacco products damage your gum tissue by affecting the attachment of bone and soft tissue to your teeth.

About Dentist
Dentists diagnose and treat problems with teeth and tissues in the mouth. They also give advice and administer care to help prevent the patient from having future problems. They provide instruction on diet, brushing, flossing, the use of fluorides, and other aspects of dental care. They remove tooth decay, fill cavities, examine x-rays, place protective plastic sealants on children's teeth, straighten teeth, and repair fractured teeth. They also perform corrective surgery on gums and supporting bones to treat gum diseases. Dentists extract teeth and make models and measurements for dentures to replace missing teeth. They also administer anesthetics and write prescriptions for antibiotics and other medications.
