Dentist confirms they can see if a patient has recently given oral sex
A recent revelation by a dentist suggests that oral health professionals can detect if a patient has recently engaged in oral sex by examining their mouth. What initially circulated as an unusual online rumor has gained support from a dentist who not only affirmed the claim but also specified a particular timeframe during which these signs are more prevalent.
In a Reddit-shared video, Dr. Mike Jin responded to TV host Gina Darling’s question about dentists being able to discern recent oral sex activities. Dr. Jin confirmed the claim, explaining that soft tissue bruising at the back of the soft palate, with a distinct pattern, allows dentists to make such determinations. Adding a touch of humor, he noted an increased frequency of observing this bruising after Valentine’s Day.
The video quickly gained attention on Reddit, with users expressing a mix of surprise and discomfort in the comments. Some users playfully speculated about alternative explanations for the bruising, while others shared awkward personal experiences related to the matter.
This revelation aligns with a previous TikTok video from another dentist, known as @dentite, who confirmed the same information and introduced the term “palatal petechia” as the phenomenon that aids dentists in identifying signs of recent oral sex.
It’s essential to recognize that while these anecdotes shed light on the peculiar aspects of dentistry, such observations are likely not standard or central to dental examinations. This underscores the significance of maintaining professional discretion and privacy in healthcare practices.
