he had a internal cleaning system installed in his mouth ( that can disintegrate food particles ) after joining starfleet in case he ever found himself stranded on a planet without a toothbrush or floss.What about floss? Brushing only reaches so much
Oh lord, what have I done.
He states in at least one episode that he can eat if he wants but doesn't need to.But does Data even eat?
He doesn't have to eat, so what would be the point.
Anyway, I think his teeth aren't real teeth so couldn't he clean them with a phaser if he wanted?

But wouldn't that just be an illogical waste of time? Waste of resources?In his quest to be human, one might expect for him to eat just like all humans have to do.
Not to contribute to more off topic banter lol but there's ultimately no reason for him to have hair either, except for him to better participate in the human experience, which was his maker's intent. That's why Data isn't just a robot. He's an android, a machine AI, meant to exist AS human. Eating, sleeping, dreaming, fornicating, socializing, etc... There's but one reason he does any of it, so to be humanBut wouldn't that just be an illogical waste of time? Waste of resources?
He can't really taste, there would be no reason for it.

I wonder if he uses plain or scented shampoo........![]()

Now you're being ridiculous, nobody uses plain and scented shampoo at the same time!Both, at the same time?

I wonder what scent conditioner he uses.....
Yum yum how sexy.That weird ozone-y smell new electronic have when you first turn them on.
Yeah, I remember that, but I thought he stated somewhere that he could eat "normal" food if he wished as well.I think he states in the episode with the traumatized little boy that he does "have" to ingest something that helps to lubricate his "bio functions." "Is it good?" the boy asks back, "It's best to say it is "good for me'" Data responds.
Anyway, interesting to see a thread on this episode popping up as the other day I was spontaneously motivated to watch this episode through a series of brain farts leading to me think about a certain scene in it that compelled me to watch the episode.
Doesn’t he drink like alcohol or something with Mr. Homn at the wedding feast in “Haven”?Yeah, I remember that, but I thought he stated somewhere that he could eat "normal" food if he wished as well.
Wait, Lal was shown eating in Ten-Forward!He drinks in Generations after the emotion allows him to react to taste
