I do not like going to the dentist

I have to go in for m six month cleaning.  Is it me but I hate having my teeth cleaned by my dentist.   After the cleaning I want to wash my mouth out with some water and they will not let me.  When I ask for water they say no.  I just hate the taste of paste that they use, it makes me sick.  Why can I not just wash my mouth out  afterwards.  I hate waiting 20 to 30 minutes.
