LYNN W	yes they can see the Nicotine stains on your teeth. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

oldtimegal	They can definitely tell that you are a smoker, what you smoke might be a lil tougher, I'm sure they know if you are a heavy smoker, and if it's some form of drug that does effect the teeth. Brushing and bleaching might only help in the color and the amount, but the evidence always shows itself when you are an specialist in an area. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Nadine	actually it depends... on how heavy smoker are you... and how would you take care of your teeth after you smoke... some people especially girls or some guys who are smoking yet kinda hygienic... they usually eat bubble gum right after or even brush their teeth... They smoke with a filter on it... so although some smokers doesn't really care just keep on smoking its gonna be easy for a dentist to figure out if they are smoking... but others who are quite OC... I guess its not conspicuous if they smoke... so if you are one of the OC ( Obsessive Compulsive ) type... and when you really brush your teeth very well right after you smoke then the dentist might not even notice it... Well this answer is just for a thought you know... coz Ive known some people who smoke but it is not really obvious... they even have really red lips and pearly white teeth... ^ ^ Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

RyanC	they would have to ask you...if there is a color change, it could be an indication, but the dentist wouldnt care if you are smoking or not...only if you would want your teeth to be whitened...yellowish teeth could be a cause of something else. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

da_ace	not really if you have great dental hygene but just the smell of tobacco seeps into your clothes and hair and skin and that will give it away. i smoked for 20 years and until i quit i had no idea how bad it made me smell.....the smell gags me now. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
