    For some reason this thread has me thinking of the scene in Grease.

    Brusha brusha brusha them REAL good!!!

    I think you're mixing up the scene in Grease with Jan mimicking the commercial with Devo's "Whip It" song...

    Either way, that'd be a swell mash-up. Someone get on writing that jingle STAT!

    um, well it's pretty rude not to. you're going to be breathing right in their face. my orthodontist won't even let you go to the back if you haven't brushed. you gotta stand in the lobby and brush in front of everyone!

    I brush and floss just before going to the dentist although if I hated my dentist or his assistants then I might skip it and let them play Dora the Explorer with my food bits.

    .. and then they'd start hating you.

    And they'd have you sitting in a chair.

    Without painkillers.

    And they'd have sharp pointy metal things.

    In your mouth.

    Just sayin', if you hate your hygienist, it's probably best to find a new dentist's office.

    I always brush my teeth before the dentist.
    If you don't personally I think it would give the impression that you don't bother doing it.
    When you get your teeth cleaned by the dentist they aren't cleaning your whole tooth they are getting the easy to miss places that you don't get by yourself...


    So in conclusion yes you should clean your teeth, and who leaves their house without doing it anyway with stinky breath??

    cockpocket is the greatest word I have ever read.

    Buahaha!! I was thinking the same thing :laugh:

    But in all honesty, brushing your teeth before hand makes sure they can get a good deep clean instead of just the surface.

    Of course... floss too!

    Nah, I don't think you should. They're dentists. They've seen it all. I mean, just like going to the proctologist. Why wipe your *kitten* if they are going to be back there anyway? I'm sure they'd take care of that for you while they are there. Stand strong, don't brush your teeth.

    Coming from someone in Dental School to become an orthodontist: Yes! Brush your teeth before going in!

    This is the same question I ask myself before going to the gyno.

    GREAT NEWS GUYS!

    Just got back from the dentist - NO CAVITIES!!!

    p.s. I spent about fifteen minutes scrubbing my mouth and flossing beforehand, mainly so I could get out of there quicker :)

    :huh: I can't imagine why you'd even ask a question like this. Going to the dentist or not it's basic hygiene.....maybe I'm OCD but I brush after my mid morning coffee..........
  • EWW!
    Yes always brush your teeth before the dentist. You should really always brush your teeth before going out in public.
