That awful pink junk! I would think you could respectfully decline the offer of the pink junk........

FYI.....That little hose that the dentist uses to squirt your mouth could be deadly. Last year, after my husband was diagnosed with Legionnaire's Disease, the Health Department called us trying to find the source of the disease & asked if my husband had been to the dentist recently and he had been to the dentist a month before he got sick. He was then asked if the squirt attachment had been used and yes, it had been used.

Now, did the squirt hose cause Legionnaire's? We will never know. All the Health Department did was make a note of it and IF anyone else from that same dentist came down with Legionnaire's, an investigation would begin. We never heard another word.
