A TOOTH IN TIME SAVES NINE No comments yet

YOU CAN TELL BY THE HEADING THAT OBVIOUSLY I WAS IN PAIN. IT ALL BEGAN WITH LEFT UPPER LATERAL INCISOR PAIN (THE LITTLE TOOTHER TO THE SIDE OF THE FRONT UPPER FOUR). HAVE YOU EVER CHEWED ON ALUMINUM FOIL? I HAVE. NO, I WASN’T OUT OF GUM AND WALKING IN THE DESERT. JUST A SLIVER HAS BEEN STUCK TO SOMETHING I ATE AND YIKES WHAT AN ELECTRICAL PAINISH RESPONSE. WELL THAT’S WHAT I FELT LAST WEEK. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A NERVE DISEASE. A LITTLE ‘AMBESOL’ TOPICALLY AND LUKE WARM FLUIDS GOT ME THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
MY DENTIST SHOWED ME THE HIDDEN CAVITY AND NOTHING FLAT, I WAS CAPPED AND BACK CHEWING ON CARAMEL NUT YUMMIES. (NO!)
SO WHAT’S MY POINT? WELL, IT’S JUST A REMINDER THAT THE OLD SAGE OF FLOSSING TWICE A DAY AND BRUSHING AS OFTEN, REALLY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. WHY? BECAUSE IT’S ONE OF MY GRANDMOTHER’S RULES THAT I’VE ADHERED TO SINCE YOUTH. YEAH, DOC, BUT YOU HAD A FILLING! YES, AND I FORGOT TO MENTION, ON MY OWN TEETH. AND I TRULY BELIEVE THAT SO MANY OF OUR ILLNESSES STEM FROM POOR DENTITION. IN FACT, BACTERIA CAN ENTER THE BLOOD STREAM FROM THE MOUTH AND HAVE EVEN BEEN IMPLICATED IN CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE.
“STORE BOUGHT” OR YOUR ‘OWN-IES’, LET’S SET A GOAL OF A.M. AND P.M. FLOSSING AND BRUSHING. THE ONCE OVER ‘LISTERINE’ BEFORE A MAKE OUT SESSION, JUST WON’T CUT IT! mY GOAL IS TO KEEP THE TOOTH FAIRY AT A DISTANCE
