Can your dentist tell your parents if u vape as a minor? in buffalo?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
In Buffalo, NY, providers are bound by confidentiality laws and required to obtain the patient's consent to share personal health information with others. There are exceptions to this rule, and one of them is when the provider believes the patient is engaging in behaviors that may harm themselves or others. However, it is not clear whether vaping would fall under this category.

The laws in every state are different. That said, know that vaping is not without harm to oral tissues and lungs tissues. As a parent I wold want to know if my child wasn't harming his/herself. Hiding harmful behavior is not to anyone's benefit.
