I have been a meth user off and on for many years. I have never had a dentist ask me if I had ever used drugs before until I went to the dentist last week. I don't have "meth mouth" but I do have problems with my teeth. I said, yes a long time ago. Then the dentist asked if the drug was meth? I said yes, but wouldn't admit to any recent use. I went in thinking I was going to get a root canal and ended up having 2 bottom teeth pulled and now being sent to a oral surgeon to have a back tooth removed. I was very upset even though I should have expected it. But I don't have the typical "meth mouth" BUT she was the first dentist to ask me. Maybe they all knew but just didn't say anything. Now I have to go and get a bridge to replace those teeth.
What else can I help you with?
How does a dentist know if someone has meth mouth?
Oh, dude, a dentist can tell if someone has "meth mouth" by looking for signs like tooth decay, gum disease, and missing teeth. It's like a dental detective game, but instead of solving crimes, they're just checking out your teeth. So, if you've been hitting the meth pipe a little too hard, your dentist will probably know... and they won't be impressed.
