I'm thinking I must've seen this song in a little bit of a different life.
Yes, it's about visiting a dentist and smiling. But it has nothing to do wtih eating sweets but figuratively keeping your mouth clean. That is, don't say hurtful things or don't full your mouth with dirty words, because it will figuratively rot your teeth. I see this in the Verse;
'When hygienists leave on long vacations
That's when dentists scream and lose their patience
Talking only brings the toothaches on
Because I say the stupidest things
So if my result goes south
I'll swallow my pride with an Aspirin
And shut my mouth'
He says hygienists as in our good conscience or just good people in general. When we forget about our good conscience, we tend to say hurtful things and bring the toothaches on, and so the dentists are busy seeing more people. Did that make sense only in my head? XD
Also in the verse;
'Golf and alcohol don't mix
And that's why I don't drink and drive
Because good grief, I'd knock out my teeth
And have to kiss my smile goodbye'
Alcohol tends to let us loose our inhibition and we say rather stupid things when drunk. And we'll probably end up getting ourselves hurt in the end.
What also made me believe this was the lines right at the beginning;
'I brush my teeth and look in the mirror
And laugh out loud as I'm beaming from ear to ear
I'd rather pick flowers instead of fights
And rather than flaunt my style
I'd flash you a smile of clean pearly whites'
Don't go picking fights and make yourself appear big and put other people down. Show people how great your teeth look because you don't say mean and hurtful things. =D
your idea is great!
I think the line "I'd rather pick flowers instead of fights" and "rather than flaunt my style I'd flash you a smile of clean pearly whites" clearly proves that you're right!;)

Anywho, that's how I took it.
