A：Hi Chen Hao, how are you today?
C：还不错，你呢？
A：I'm fine, just taking a quick break.
C：我刚才看到一件怪事。
A：What?
C：我在走廊上遇到Todd, 他正拿着牙刷和牙膏往洗手间走。
A：He does it often, several times a day, I think. What struck you as odd?
C：上班时间刷牙，还那么明目张胆的，你不觉得奇怪吗？

A：---5---.

I actually applaud the idea and wish that more people did it. I keep a toothbrush and toothpaste in my desk all the time so I can brush after meals and breaks
That's enough if your only goal is good dental care and the prevention of problems. Brushing on the job has a different purpose
It's important for the simple reason that bad breath is offensive. Sometimes we don't realize when our mouth odor is unpleasant
I had a colleague once who lost his job because of his bad breath. His clients were continually offended and several asked his boss to tell him
The boss was not eager to have that kind of conversation with an employee, but he knew that it was his responsibility
That might help freshen your breath, but it is far from professional
Breath mints don't turn people off, but they also don't do the job as well as brushing
Same thing. Mouthwash is harsh and can make you smell as if you are covering up something
You don't have to be obsessive about it. Just pay attention to the foods you eat during the day. The garlic in our lunch is definitely going to be obvious to other people when we get back to the office
You've started drinking a lot of coffee. Coffee leaves an odor that can be a real turn-off
