I'm generally in the non-breakfast-eating brush the gnashers whilst having a plopsy crowd. If I were to have breakfast, it'd be a couple of hours later, in the shape of eggs and butter beans - now my favourite bean - so BEFORE.

Switched to before breakfast about 6 months ago after reading the kind of advice some people have posted on this thread. Not RIGHT before breakfast. Wake up, brush, visit the water closet, shower shave, then breakfast. Rinse after breakfast with mouthwash.

Went to the dentist for the first time in 15 years last month. Was dreading it but wasn't too bad, and now I'm over the not going thing, am finally getting them sorted.

They took some photos the other day. Ew.

Surely you spit some out otherwise the first person you talk to is going to think your a bit rabid!!!!

I spit obviously! I don't walk around looking like a butake porn star...well, except for weekends.

I spit most of the toothpaste out, and then wash the rest off my gob.

I haven't been to the dentist in 12 about years. I heard it's very different these days. True?

Well, one thing that amazed me was getting the injection before filling. Dentist said there would be a little pinch and I braced myself for cold steel entering my gums. But it was just a pinch. Like a clothes peg. I kept waiting for the needle but then he said it was all done. Then after that the drilling was painless.

Worst thing was the cleaning, but with 15 years of tartar not suprising. Bit unpleasant but not a big deal.

I recommend going.

I shall go soon then. I've never had any fillings dones.

With the cleaning, is that something you ask for? Or do they recommend it?

wow, no fillings?

The cleaning for me I would imagine was necessary. Lots of tartar build up. Had been having a bit of gum pain the last year, would imagine because of that.

Yeah, as I said, I haven't been for so long. But no doubt that when I go back I bet I will have to have loads.

Something to look foward to...

I felt the need to add a poll to this debate.

I am and have always been a before breakfast person. My Mrs is an after. I shall enjoy explaining the error of her ways tonight.
