Dentist exposes X-rated detail in routine check-ups
A dentist has revealed a startling fact about what they can find out about you and your sex life during a routine oral examination.
Dentists can tell when patients have had oral sex, it has been revealed.
A US dentist made the X-rated revelation on a podcast, prompting Australian experts to confirm its true.
In a recent episode of the Eighty Twenty podcast, hosted by Australian supermodel Shanina Shaik and DJ Georgia Sinclair, Dr Ellie Farahmand revealed a startling fact about what dentists can find out about you from a routine check-up.
“Can you tell when a patient has come in and has performed oral sex? They say dentists can see that,” Shaik asked, to which the LA-based dentist responded, “I would never bring it up to anyone if I notice it, but yes.”
The hosts’ gasps were audible, as Dr Farahmand further explained, “Let me clarify, so the way we can tell is from the palate – so if there’s changes in the palate if there’s like trauma to the palate … you can see little abrasions on the palate.”
The conversation took a humorous turn when Shaik questioned the “trauma” aspect, prompting Dr Farahmand to jokingly answer, “next time, just say ‘I’m not in the mood for trauma, thank you’.”
Shaik, joining in the laughter, retorted, “I don’t want trauma in my mouth”.
While many podcast listeners responded with a mix of shock, laughter, and embarrassment, the ability of dentists to detect such signs is rooted in a far more serious issue.
Australian Dental Association President, Dr Scott Davis revealed that dental professionals are trained to recognise signs of sexual assault and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), especially in children.
“Dentists do however know certain signs that could be associated with oral sex, particularly if it was forceful or violent,” the Port Macquarie dentist told news.com.au.

“This would be detected during an examination of the soft tissues.”
Adding to the gravity of the situation, a Pediatric dental spokesperson highlighted that “identifying whether a child has been sexually abused is in pediatrics dental handbook and textbooks and is taught as a standard part of the curriculum”.
The revelation has sparked a new-found respect and awareness among the public for the role of dentists, not just in dental health but also in their ability to detect and address more sombre aspects of physical wellbeing.
