If the dentist can tell, will he turn me in?<\/p>\n<p>Name withheld<\/p>\n<p>Dear Anonymous,<\/p>\n<p>First, you should be aware that you&#8217;re not the only one who feels that way about dentists. So don&#8217;t feel bad about that. You should also know that your dentist will likely be able to tell if you smoke marijuana before your appointment.<\/p>\n<p>He or she isn&#8217;t likely to turn you in unless they think you&#8217;re a danger to someone else. I&#8217;d make sure you had someone to drive you to and from the appointment so the <a href=\"https:\/\/libertyvilledentist.com\/emergency-dentist.html\">emergency dentist<\/a> isn&#8217;t worried about you being behind the wheel. You also should tell the dentist even if they don&#8217;t notice.<\/p>\n<p>I have an idea for you that will keep you from feeling like you need to use your current method before goign to the dentist. I&#8217;d suggest you go to an emergency dentist that also does sedation dentistry. It will give you a pain free dental appointment.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s good that you&#8217;re getting this taken care of this situation even though you&#8217;re not fond of the dentist. Infections spread. \u00a0You don&#8217;t want this to get worse than it is.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/libertyvilledentist.com\">Dr. David Potts<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a serious toothache, but I can&#8217;t stand the dentists.
