Anyone else get a cold sore after every dentist visit?

Question

I had a cleaning last week and sure enough, three days later I felt the tingle in the same spot as always. It happens almost every time my mouth is stretched open that long and now I dread appointments for the wrong reason. I mentioned it to the hygienist and she looked at me like I was making it up. Is this a thing for anyone else or is it just weird timing for me?

I felt so validated reading this because it happens to me too, I think it's all the stretching and poking at my lips plus the stress of just being in that chair. Now I warn my dentist ahead of time and try to book morning appointments when I'm less run down, which seems to help a little.
