As a dentist do you feel the need to talk to your clients about the damage that drugs and alcohol can have on their dental health?

I'm sure I'll feel the need to talk to my patients about the damage that drugs and alcohol can have on their overall health, of which their oral health is simply the component with which I'll be most familiar.

With the attitude that we shouldn't talk to them about these things, what would be the point of being a dentist?

"Do you feel the need..." Are you serious? Why be in the profession if you don't feel the need to be a healthcare professional?

You can if you want but I only do if I see it causing a problem. Actually smoking is a bigger problem.
