How to Politely Inform Someone They're Sporting Dental Salad


Welcome, mischievous spirits and masters of mayhem, to another installment of life’s awkward tutorials brought to you by Cheeky Designs. Today’s topic? How to delicately inform someone that they’ve got a bit of the garden stuck in their teeth. That’s right—we’re tackling the green goblins of the dental world. Buckle up, buttercups; this is going to be a cheeky ride.


Step 1: Establish the Secret "wink, wink" Signal

First things first, we need a game plan that doesn’t involve shouting, “HEY, DID YOU BLOW THE JOLLY GREEN GIANT?” across the conference room. Instead, let’s be sophisticated (or at least pretend to be). Establish a secret signal with your friends and colleagues—a subtle yet unmistakable gesture that screams, “There's shit in your teeth, Bob!” This can be anything from a discreet tilt of the head, a big smile, and a few subtle taps on your teeth. Get creative, get silly, but most importantly, get a signal that’s not going to have everyone else thinking you’ve suddenly developed Tourettes.


Step 2: Practice Your Puh-Puh-Poker Face

When you do spot a rogue piece of parsley playing peekaboo in a pal’s pearly whites, it’s crucial to keep your composure. STAY CALM, MAN! Stay. Calm. So you'll need to practice your poker face. You're gonna have to be able to deliver the news without bursting into laughter, cringing, or making that all-too-familiar disgusted face that can make friendships end faster than the last girl you introduced to your parents. Maybe rehearse in front of a mirror or with a non-judgmental pet, we don't recommend cats, they're little bitches. Remember, the goal is to be helpful, not hurtful.


Step 3: The Art of Being F*cking Subtle

This step is key. Subtlety is your best friend in these leafy situations. Instead of blurting out the news, try whispering it discreetly, passing a note, or writing a novel about it and hope it becomes #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. Okay, maybe not the last part. A simple “You’ve got a little something...” followed by a clandestine point to your own mouth should do the trick. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, why not invent a Haiku and recite it softly?


In your teeth so green,

Salad leaves smile back at me,

Time for a clean sweep.


See? Poetry saves the day, and you look like a cultured swan instead of a blabbering goose.


Step 4: Siri, Tell Dave He's Got Shit in His Teeth

In the golden age of technology, who needs face-to-face communication anyway? That's sooo 1996. But, if you’re too chicken to tell someone they have a mini garden set up in their grill, send them a text. And, to save time, we recommend using emojis, for example, 😁🥬🤮. Better yet, take a selfie with them and subtly zoom in on their teeth. They’ll get the hint with minimal embarrassment, and you can save the day without the drama of actually talking to someone. #introvertsunite


Step 5: "129" Request Backup

If your subtle hints have gone unnoticed, it might be time to bring in the reinforcements. This is where having a wingman (or wingwoman) can really come into play. Have them execute Operation Vegan Takeout with a fresh set of cues. Remember, it takes a village to save a friend from embarrassment.


Step 6: Reflect on the Aftermath

Once the deed is done and the dental debris has been dealt with, take a moment to reflect on your approach. Was it smooth? Did your friend appreciate your discreetness? Or are you now one friend short? Learn from each encounter and refine your technique because, let’s face it, this won’t be the last time you’ll need to be the bearer of awkward news.


So there you have it, a guide to tactfully telling someone they’ve got a leaf orgy going on in their mouth, courtesy of Cheeky Designs. Use these steps wisely, and remember, the next time you feel something stuck in your teeth, pray someone else has read this blog, too. Happy cleaning, social butterflies! 🦋🥗


Remember, in the realm of unwanted teeth tenants, silence is not golden—it’s just plain green.
