So, today I went in for my check-up and cleaning. After the Hygienist finished my cleaning, she poured some stuff in a little cup, set the bottle on the tray in front of me and told me to rinse my mouth out. Then I rememmbered something I wanted to ask. And here is how the conversation went:

Me: "Have you ever heard of a mouth rinse called Chlorhexidine or Novalsan?"

Her: "Sure, that is what I just gave you."

Me: "Really?"

She spins the bottle around, and sure enough, right there in big white letters it says, Chlorhexidine Gluconate .12%.

Me: "Wow, I have a gallon of Chlorhexidine 2% at the house."

Her: " A whole gallon? Where do you get it?"

Me: " From a Veterinary supply website."

Her: " Do you rinse with it?"

Me: "No, I use it for cleaning."

Her: "What in the world do you clean with Chlorhexidine?"

Me: "Snake cages."

The expression on her face was priceless. Then she said," That wasn't even the last answer in the world I was expecting."
