You can act on your knowledge without betraying your promise. A fairly simple way might be just to take her aside and tell her that she looks awful and you're worried about that. (OK, you might not phrase it *quite* that way, but you get the idea - the signs are there for you to point out; she doesn't need to know your son provided you the reason for them.)
I think a great anti-meth ad campaign would just focus on how awful it makes people look. Tell someone they're harming their health and they shrug. Appeal to their vanity and they take notice. You probably get more mileage out of the fear of bad teeth than the fear of death.
