i will never ever forget to brush my teeth before i go out! ^__^;; it never happened to me. but if it ever happened to me, all i will do is to eat a lot of food, especially fruits or those that really taste strong. and besides, if i forgot to brush after eating at home, i don't think that's so bad. after all, my breath will smell like the food i've eaten. ^__^

They say if you can handle it and you are somewhere near a pine tree..you can break off a pine bristle and chew on it and it will freshen up your mouth:)

Not a big deal at all if you asked me ajesh_pullad. Here in Africa, long before we saw the western brushes that we use today, we had perhaps even healthier teeth. In this case, l would approach the nearest tree, reach out for a twig, chew it gently and create my own tooth brush-it would be a disposable brush because trees near homes are very common.

Hi academic, if we can maintain anything in natural way,it will produce a good result.i agree with you.once there hadnt any brushes.people were using tree twigs to clean their teeth.now its all changed.we cannot utilize our resources,but keep on destroying. Have a nice day. thanks for your response. Happy myLoting:-)

comfort-pillow - Comfort Pillow: do you have one? Yes I do. You can see the picture how does my comfort pillow do influence my sleeping mood and pattern.
If I said no for never forget to brush my teeth in my previous life time, I think I am bluffing myself, AJESH. Yes I did so many times in my adolescent life and time. As I can feel my bad breath and what else for others. Especially at that time I was having my tooth decay. It exacerbate my worse situation. I noticed my mouth transmitted bad breath when I was talking to my friends and they started close fingering their nose. So I went to sundry shop and purchased a 'chlorophyll' type pack of chewing gum. At least it soothe my feeling about having my bad breath. Just like refresh my mouth and enjoy chewing as facial exercise, as well. Happy Posting and Earnings, AJESH.

If I forget to brush my teeth and I am going somewhere where I may be close enough to affect others..I usualy have a mint handy and pop it in my mouth. I sometimes swing by the closest convenience store, which, in my case is Exxon:)

I'd probably rinse my mouth when I go to a toilet, and then buy some mint-flavored gum or candy just to have that illusion that my mouth is fresh.

I always try to clean my teeth twice a day which is good and natural, as too much cleaning can actually destroy the enamel on your teeth. It is most important at night because acid and plaque etc attacks your teeth during the night. It is very rare to forget but If I don't clean my teeth then I will use a mouthwash instead or as well.

Hi wolfie, my friend,too much cleaning affects our tooth.we dont know it contains strong chemicals. good response. thanks for your response. Happy myLoting :-)

Oh my gosh... that happened to me once because i was so in a hurry to leave since i was so late... and i was so distraught because i kept on thinking that somebody might notice it... so i immediately bought mint gum to hide what ever smell my breath has... thank goodness it worked... I never happend again...

LOL, I hope I don't sound like a pig. It has happened to me several times, especially during trying and stressful times when my head was full of nothing but a relationship that was not working or an impossible deadline at work. Your mouth automatically becomes clean after a breakfast and a good rinse. I haven't tried anything else, and nobody ran away from me. Ha ha ha nobody even guessed that I hadn't brushed!

Hi +mind, i liked your response its frank and honest.first time when i read,i didnt get you.(whats behind automatic..?)second time i made big laugh :-D.you are right.i agree with you,when we are in trouble or in stress,we cant do anything we thought to do.we cant even forget where we are. Thanks for Honest Response.Always keep in mind. Happy MyLoting :-)

Hmm.. that has never happened to me before. I'll never forget to do that as that's the very first thing I do in the morning. It has become a habit in me. However, if it ever happen to me, I'll most probably go to the nearest pharmacy to buy a bottle of mouth rinse and a packet of mints. I'll rinse my mouth thoroughly first and then pop in a mint. =P
