My teeth are my weakness. Maybe that is what keeps me grounded. Or else I may have been too proud or snobbish for having a healthy body. We never realise but these things do matter in the long run.
My dentist then advised me cleaning & as no more root canal or fillings were eminent, I went for it. Was it painful! Then I realised that the front teeth have a hole due to the drill. It cannot be corrected & is now permanent. I reflected on my cousins & saw each one has a gap in between the two front incisors. So now I am officially one of the clan!
I have small, lovely teeth to begin with. But the permanent set is bigger, larger & just fits my small jaw. The protruding set for the appointment with the dentist! So he became my permanent feature. I did not need ortho treatment but they are not like any of my Korean stars!
If chewing is what they do, they do it efficiently, no doubt. But the aesthetic is missing. Now, nothing can be done. My father had honestly admitted to it being his folly. But I disagree. Cleaning regularly & maintaining the hygiene is our own will. He can’t help with the caries.
The sweet tooth that I developed is of my own accord. He loved spicy dishes. It was too much for me to stomach. I developed the taste late in life. Today, I have a bit of the mango pickle with my meals. Then I had no idea why chutney or pickle is requires. The veges & the salad was enough for me!
I can write 32 different stories but now I should stop. The breakfast is ready & I am craving for the ‘Garam Poha’ now.
