Do you clean your teeth before going to a dental appointment or let the dentist do it? (lemmy.world)

I always brush my teeth beforehand, but I know that there are always people who will behave differently.

I eat a package of Oreos beforehand to help out, that way the hygienist has a clear marker of if they've cleaned somewhere or not. Cleaning clean teeth would be like painting a grass green. Did I get that spot? But painting it purple, you know where you've been.

That's a great Stephen Wright joke:

My dental hygienist is cute. Every time I visit, I eat a whole package of Oreo cookies while waiting in the lobby. Sometimes she has to cancel the rest of the afternoon's appointments.
