I've had a tough day today... with uncomfortable amounts of food to bite, chew, swallow and relish!
When i was young, tiny and white; i had less of work and more of spotlight :) With a close tab on how shiny i looked - ohhh...how big i grew - how strong i was and sometimes how crooked i could be! ;) I entertained you then, in MY growing years and also YOURS!!
Then one day, i popped and bled only to worry you who would take my place instead! You threw me up on the rooftop coz your neighbour told you so...that i would come back soon- big and strong! Your grandma felt i should have been buried, and so, my other friends were put into the soil in the hope that they would come up again, healthy and white. The wishes were granted and the 'tooth fairy' emerged victoriuos!
Back to business i was , relishing on the sweets and surviving the traumatic bones! There were times you made me hurry to death, you put me through awful chemicals... flavours that only you enjoyed and colours that made me dull by the day! Cigarette smoke made my surroundings burn and areca nuts just added to the bruise. You enjoyed your meals- you soaked in your puffs.. while my only saving grace was a healthy environment ( my friends-gums and bone and the ever forgiving saliva)
All i needed was a healthy me but what i got was an ugly me. With an age old frayed brush and dollops of the coloured paste. You concentrated all your strength in trying to clean me in minutes but sadly didn't realise that i was only getting worn. I showed you i was sensitive, you could see my gums bleed but because i never caused pain... i always remained your ignored friend! :(
Soon my body started to cavitate... and my 'once upon a time healthy' bone to deteriorate. You noticed and forgot until i shook you one fine day!!! "Ouch!!"... you yelled and i heard and was at peace! :)
It was time now you see the people- you call dentists and we- our guardian angels!! :) You are terrified to go to them... and they leave nothing unturned to make sure your taken care of well!! You are petrified to take that one prick... and they try everything under the sun to make that one prick- painfree!! You have all the money to live a lavish life. But when it comes to me, you act clumsy!!
This was just a gentle reminder to let you know that am as important as your eyes, face and toe! If you don't know enough of me, its never too late to know!
You rock when you're happy .... And i rock when am sad! ;)
Cheers!
