I quit smoking recently, and I have to go to the dentist. I do not want him to know that I have ever smoked, because it is inconvenient. How long you want the traces of my folly, that will be removed? I smoked for about a year, and left about two weeks.
Why would you deem it necessary to try to fool your dentist? Are you an adult? Face your mistakes and embrace them. You only learn through them! Hey, you’ll even get praise when you tell the dentist the truth for the willpower to quit!
Quitting is a great thing and many have gone through it. You can try slinking off to another dentist you don’t care about and have your teeth professionally cleaned. Clean your mouth out every nigth for a week or two with baking soda and water. Clean all your clothing, car, bedding, flooring, curtains and walls to try to remove all traces of smell there.
But to be really honest. A non smoker can smell and ex smoker pretty easily. Takes a good year to get completely out of your system. And until your teeth get professionally cleaned, it’s gonna be noticeable on there as well.
No one was perfect growing up. Everyone did something stupid. Some things are stupider than others, but that’s why we give our youth a pass on stupidity and dont’ allow theri records to follow them around. Even if you are in early 20’s, you are still young enough to be known as a youth. It’s when you hit about 25 that people expect less stupidity…but not everyone really grows up. Some just grow older but never wiser. You already show that you are growing wiser and that is important. Congrats!!! 2 weeks is a short time, so beware of the pitfalls that can come. I put a source in to help you to stay a non smoker! Or ex smoker.
