Do You Need to Brush Your Teeth Before Going to the Dentist?

Do you really want to brush your tooth proper earlier than going to the dentist? Hmmmm.

I do know what you are most likely going to say…after all you do, proper? Nicely, I had a little bit dilemma in the present day.

I had a dentist appointment after work. I knew it was going to be a busy day so I might need to go proper from work to the dentist. It is a few half hour trip to the dentist, so I assumed to myself final night time that I ought to deliver my toothbrush to work so I might brush earlier than I am going.

Wellll, that did not occur. I forgot to deliver a toothbrush with me to work. If I do not put a reminder in my telephone there is a good likelihood I am not going to recollect no matter I used to be supposed to recollect.

Ugghhh. What was I going to do now? To make issues worse, I could not cease residence earlier than the appointment even when I needed to as a result of the streets in my neighborhood had been being paved all day…after all they had been. May at the present time get any worse? I do know it might, however, I used to be fairly mortified that I might have to point out up at my dentist with unbrushed tooth.

Then I began to consider it…why did I have to brush my tooth simply to get them cleaned once more throughout my appointment? I used to be attempting to persuade myself that it will be alright to not brush. Lol.

I even requested Joe in the course of the present this morning if he had an additional toothbrush with him that I might have as a result of he has every thing in his automobile…every thing…however, he did not. He solely had his with him, which he pulled out of his backpack to point out me. I will tackle that one other time. Lol. He instructed me simply to ask for a toothbrush once I bought there and brush. However, that may be admitting that I did not brush earlier than getting there.

After a lot thought, I made a decision simply go to the appointment…I used to be going to get there proper on time…and ask for a toothbrush to brush. I nonetheless was questioning what I assumed was proper all alongside…to brush earlier than I went…as a result of my tooth had been simply going to be cleaned anyway. I questioned the entire approach there whether or not the hygienist even cared if I brushed first. I made a decision to ask her and settle this interior debate as soon as and for all.

I walked in to the workplace with my unbrushed tooth, tried to behave informal when she referred to as me title (I used to be form of nervous), and I simply blurted out that I did not have time to brush earlier than and requested if she needed me to earlier than the cleansing.

Her reply? A really fast, “Nah, no large deal” with hand gesture like who cares. Phew. What a reduction. She did not care in any respect.

Wow. I felt so free. Lol.

There you’ve it. An age outdated debate settled.
