A member asked:
Advice? would the dentist know if i chew tobacco?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
My advice is-: Chewing tobacco produces changes in the soft tissue of the mouth. It's a known carcinogen and can cause oral cancer. What's important is that you consider stopping. It's your mouth and your life at stake. Is it really worth the risk? Personally, i would care more about my well being and life than if my dentist knows.
