Open Your Mouths

Heartslabyul Dorm - Lounge

  • swish* *swish* Ptooey! Shoot. Gotty hurry since it's almost lights out.
    I think I'm good on brushing. Now to gargle...aaand...done!

Wait, Ace. That's only once.
The Queen of Hearts's rule #648: "One must brush one's teeth twice over after eating turkey."
The housewarden even reminded us several times.

Oh, quit bein' such a goody two shoes. It's not like he's watching us, so g'night.

Unfortunately for you, the vice housewarden IS.

Gah! Trey! I've got the worst luck...

Haha! The best luck, if you ask me. I won't say a word to the housewarden as long as you do what you're supposed to.

See? Trey's kind enough to let minor errors in judgement slide if you work to make up for it.

Okaaay! I give. I still say it's a dumb rule, but I'll brush 'em.

Before you two start, though, open your mouths and let me have a look-se—oh. Oops.

Umm...?

There is NO way that's one of the rules.

Haha... Sorry. Force of habit from back home. It was my job to make sure my younger siblings really brushed their teeth.

Gotcha. Sure. I can believe that.

So you're an older brother, Trey?

Yeah. I've got a little brother and sister.

No wonder you have such a knack for looking after everyone! Thinking back, you've always had a kind older brother thing going on.
You're always calmly watching over us. I can't even imagine you getting angry.

Is that what I'm like?

What, you never noticed? Even Riddle Me Fits leans on you.
He just calls your name, and you're right there to fix the problem. He doesn't even have to tell you what it is. You're practically superhuman.

Aww. Now you're just trying to butter me up.
But that won't get you out of brushing your teeth again.

There goes that plan.

That wasn't MY plan.

Oh, but I see the bristles on your brushes are looking a little worn.
How about I give you both my spares?

Really? Thank you! Stuff like this is what I meant when I said you reminded me of an older brother.

Ah. Yeah, I see it now. I'm sure I'll notice myself doing it all the time now that you've pointed it out.

Just how many spares do you HAVE? Did you rob a dentist?!

Oh, these aren't spares. I use a different brush for different parts of my mouth.

...On purpose?

There's a regular brush, but there's also a bunch of little brushes with funny shapes.

Each one has a specific use. One for your whole mouth, one for the back—stuff like that. The fan-shaped one is for scraping your tongue.
And I use floss after I'm done, of course.

It's just like you not to skimp on the details.

That's wild! All that for just brushing teeth?!

Teeth can't heal themselves once they've gone bad, so I say you can never be too vigilant.
Though maybe I'm just more conscious of that fact than most since I grew up in a patisserie.
Proper dental care was drilled into me from day one.
Thankfully, it's paid off. I get a clean bill of health every time I visit the dentist.

I'm impressed. Me, I hate going to the dentist.

Then I'll teach you some better brushing habits. Maybe that'll help you avoid that drill.

Urgh... Even thinking about it makes my teeth hurt.

Are you really going along with this?! We're not kids! At least, I don't need to be taught squat.

Age is irrelevant when it comes to brushing teeth.
With how often our dorms hold tea parties with sweets, I'd argue that getting the fundamentals down now is more important than ever.

My preschool teacher babied me less than you.

Would this be the correct angle for holding the toothbrush?

So this is really happening, huh?

If you hold it like that, you won't get between your teeth and gums. A forty-five degree angle is best.

Whike whis?

Now you've got it. Be sure to hold it at a right angle when brushing the front.

Yup. This is really happening.

Get to it, Ace.

Yes, MOM. ...Huh? Where'd my toothpaste go?

You're welcome to use mine.

Cool. Thanks.

Stop right there. That is entirely too much paste.

What?

The abrasives inside toothpaste can damage your enamel. You only need a smidgen of it to get the job done.

Oh... Thaaanks...

Ah! That's too much force, Deuce. You're liable to cause damage if you keep that up.

Ngh!

Use gentle, quick strokes. No need for a vice grip on the brush, either. Hold it with the same force you would a pen.
It's good you're taking it seriously. Brush it off now and you won't have any teeth left to brush later.
Mmmmgh?!
*sigh* That was...a lot.

It's finally over! At first I thought you were just looking out for us the way you always do, but now?

You're just some kind of weird dentistry nerd! I'm honestly freaked out by how into this you are.

Okay! One final check. Open your mouths so I... Oops. Did it again.

Wuh?

Awough?!

Sorry again. Like I said, force of habit.

Tooth Fairy, meet your natural-born enemy.

Tell me about it...
