Latino girl here. We brush our teeth after lunch at the company's restroom, normally. However, when I travel to the US, people don't do that. Would you consider it disgusting to see someone else brushing their teeth at the restroom?

I personally wouldn't find it weird. I dont but I often wish I did. More power to you if you do!

I personally have no issue with it.

I will say that when I had Invisalign I had to brush after every meal. I brushed in office bathrooms and airports all over the country and always got weird looks. That being said, who cares? My teeth were cleaner than ever and lookie-loos can just avert their sensitive eyes.

Just prepare a cheery response in case someone has the guts to say something to you - “A healthy mouth is the foundation of good health!” Brush away. ✨ 🦷 ✨

People do it all the time in the office, go for it

Black male, I do it all the time

Not at all!! Do your thing!

It’s not weird. Person at my old office did the same thing . Don’t worry about it :)

Not weird. And if I saw you doing it I’d think to myself I should do that too!

I would say it's unusual in the US, but an excellent habit, of course. Definitely keep it up and maybe it will encourage others!

I brush my teeth at work after lunch or coffee and even if I didn’t, I wouldn’t think of it as weird if I saw someone else do it. Yes, some people don’t like the sight or sound of spit, but brushing your teeth, regardless of the location, is a perfectly normal act (lol). If I’m in a pinch, or maybe the restroom isn’t fresh at the moment, I use Colgate Max Fresh Wisp Disposable Mini Toothbrushes. They work very well at freshening your breath, no water is needed and they even have a pick at the end to get rid of any stuck food. And no, I am not a paid actor. Lol

I feel like so much of the media discussion about people NOT going back to work is centered on POC. I have white coworkers just as frustrated. Is this just another example of how POC are having the authentic conversation no one else is willing to have?

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.

Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
