Dental Equivalent of Cramming

I saw a friend of mine posted this wordpress post on facebook –

Or if you prefer when a link is in the word here, click here.

Number 2 on that list is this – “You come to your appointment, and it’s obvious you haven’t brushed your teeth in days.”

In DAYS! My God! Do people who don’t brush their teeth for days also go to the dentist?? That is insanity to me! In fact, I do the exact opposite. I treat a dentist appointment like a test, and I do what I call “dental cramming.” Actually that phrase sounds kind of gross.

Anyhow, starting about a week before my appointment I begin to finally floss on a regular basis, and use mouth wash. Up until then it’s once or twice per week for these things … sorry dentists of the world.

I’m curious though – am I the only one who does this dental equivalent of cramming?
