Brushing teeth at work?

Is anyone else grossed out when co-workers brush their teeth in the sink at work? I am all about having a healthy mouth, but I really don't want to see people that I don't live with brushing and spitting where I have to wash my hands. Let me know if I am being over-dramatic.

Brushing teeth at work?
I don't think anything is wrong with that, as long as they clean up after themselves and don't leave any toothpaste in or on around the sink, hey as long as they don't mind brushing where you wash your hands!
Reply:They might have a dental appointment during the day. Or just applied for a promotion by giving the boss a hummer.
Reply:I wouldn't say that you are over reacting. Personally I hate spitting in the sink, even at home. I think you should spit in the toilet. Put a sign up in the bathroom asking that people spit in the toilet when brushing their teeth at work.
Reply:I personally think its ok to brush your teeth at work. Yes some people frown upon it, but at least the person cares about their dental heigiene enough to brush after their meals. If it bothers you tell them about that product that slips over the finger, no water is needed, and they can do it right in their office away from others. But seriously, the bathroom is for personal use and if you have a problem with someone brushing their teeth in the sink, do you have a problem sharing a toilet too?
Reply:I don't mind people brushing teeth at work, as long as they rinse the sink out. I don't like sharing a toliet. I hate that.
Reply:%Just take some antibacterial soap to work.
Reply:I think it is a great thing for people to be brushing their teeth at work. Think of the alternative? Smelly lunch breath. The more you can brush your teeth after meals the better chance you have of a healthier mouth and fresher breath. People take craps at work in the bathroom, you have to smell that, so personally someone brushing their teeth is something I would rather deal with, then a stinky bathroom. Yes I know both happen, but I guess being in the dental field I have become immune to what people do or don't do when it comes to their oral health. Don't be grossed out, just think of it this way, would you rather that sally brushes her teeth, or would you rather see that piece of lettuce stuck in her teeth from lunch? I vote for everybody brushing their teeth, and when necessary chewing sugar free gums or mints. There is nothing worse then having to talk to someone with nasty, stinky breath. Believe me I know I am up close and personal with it everyday. Sometimes I have to double mask because someone does not have good home care. Now that is gross.
Reply:I say fire them!!
Reply:I agree it is weird and kind of rude. Especially if it is a sink with two or more faucets and one long sing for more than one person to use at the same time...
