Can a dentist tell if you use meth?
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.

Having Sex Or Any Type Of Sexual Relations With A Partner Who Uses/Used Meth Will NOT Make You Fail A UA. You Will Only Fail If You Have Used Meth As Well. It Is Impossible To Fail A UA Just By Sleeping With Someone Who Has Used If You Yourself Have Not Used. Now If You Have Been Kissing Someone Who Has Used Meth Heavily Then You Have A Cotton Swab In The Mouth Type Drug Test You Could Fail If The Cotton Swab Picks Up Any Of Their Tissue In Your Mouth. But As Far As Urinalysis Goes, You Are Safe Unless YOU Have Used Meth Yourself Anytime Within The Last Three Days Before The Test.
