Following the "Lips" thread, what can we suppose about the dental hygiene of 
the 
carnivorous dinosaurs, if any?  I'm picturing T Rex lying around after his last 
meal, mouth half open, while "x" flits around picking morsels of flesh from 
between his teeth, a la crocodiles and (I can't remember the species) birds.

Any possible candidates for this role, evidence of tooth decay etc etc?
