Bees: why is brushing at school so completely unlikely? Make yourself up a little portable oral care kit (a travel toothbrush, a small tube of toothpaste, and maybe even a little reel of floss for just in case) and take that with you. A water rinse may often be sufficient, but after a meal, you're better off brushing properly, since rinsing alone may not remove all the food, particularly from between your teeth. I know that, at first, it may seem a bit embarrassing to brush in a restroom where other people might see you, but try to remember that there's nothing to be ashamed about in maintaining good oral hygiene - quite the contrary, it is something of which any of us could and should be proud. Look at it this way: a toothbrush and paste are the sort of things included in the care kit that the better airlines are giving out to their Business and First Class passengers on long haul flights - so treat yourself as First Class and provide these goodies to yourself (and use them!) when you're not at home.

Sunny: I hardly think Stoli on the rocks is a rarity But more than anything, your statement amounted to false pseudo-science. Since you present yourself as a dental professional, you ought to be more careful that you offer up only good and accurate science, so that people can make informed decisions rather than misinformed decisions. (Dare I mention that even pure Stoli, or similar are not pure alcohol, but a mixture of alcohol and water? )
