Dentist confirms they can see if a patient has recently given oral sex

He's admitted that they can tell just by having a look inside someone's mouth

A dentist has confirmed that they are able to tell if a patient has recently given someone oral sex just by taking a quick peek inside their mouth. Do with that information what you will.

There’s always plenty of bizarre rumours flying around online - such as whether ‘breaking the seal’ on a night out is a legit thing or if your love of true crime is cause for concern - and last year, a new theory doing the rounds claimed that dentists can tell when you’ve given someone oral sex.

The theory has since been backed by a dentist who has said that, yes, his colleagues can indeed tell and he also shared one particular date that they see the tell-tale sign more than others.

In a clip shared on Reddit, dentist Dr Mike Jin is asked by TV host and streamer Gina Darling: “I saw on TikTok that dentists can tell if you’ve just sucked a wiener. Is it true?”

To which Dr Jin replies: “Yup, that one’s true.”

He continues: “You can see bruising on the soft tissue on the back of the soft palate. And there’s a particular pattern of bruising.

"We can tell.

“So after Valentine’s Day, we noticed that bruising in the soft palate a lot more frequently. Fun fact!”

The video racked up more than 57,000 upvotes within the first day of being posted, along with thousands of comments from stunned – and grossed-out – Reddit users.

The unusual topic was covered in a video posted on Reddit.

Another wrote: “Wait. What if you just tried to eat an entire hotdog without biting or chewing?”

Someone else joked: “Dentist perusing your mouth sees bruising ‘Sooo, how was your weekend?’”

A third shared their own horror story, saying: “Can confirm. I found out in the worst way.

The dentist confirmed the online rumour was true.

"My mom worked at a periodontist's office and would always get me in for a cleaning when I'd visit home (from college). One time, the young, new, studly doctor (who everyone in the office including my mom would swoon over) was super concerned about bruising/discoloration in my mouth - concerned enough to tell my mom.

"Eventually it was figured out. Excruciatingly awkward. He must've skipped class the day this lesson was taught in dentist school.”

Another dentist previously backed up the theory in a TikTok video, saying it was actually a question he received a lot.

The dental expert, who goes by the handle @dentite, explained: "I get this question a lot, and yeah, we know."

In a second video, he went on to elaborates on exactly how this is possible.

He said: "Palatal petechia. This is what it's called.

This is what it looks like if you've been 'sucking a lot of lollipops'.

"If you like, say, sucking on a lollipop, one or two, here or there, not a big deal.

"But let's say you like sucking on multiple, multiple, multiple, multiple lollipops all the time, you've got a problem that's gonna cause palatal petechia."

Sharing a photo of what it looks like IRL, he then added: "As you can see, bruising of the soft palate and irritation right there."
