When I was a child, I had pathetic teeth. They'd break half way, many filled and best of all, have them removed like every other time. I remember I had a close relationship with my dentist called Dr. Shah than with my teacher at school. Reason being, in a week, I'd spend more time at the dentist than in school. Because of all these problems and money effect, I was banned from eating any sweet things; biscuits, sweets, cookies, cakes name it. As a result, my teeth came back to life and In was thrilled, I'd finally smile and smile hard.
As an adult, I ought to know better. How to take care of my teeth and visit the dentist. To be honest, I have never seen a dentist after Dr. Shah, and that's in about 17 years. I change my toothbrushes after six months and eat sugary things other than honey. I love biscuits, hate chocolate bars, love sweets and still have in the back of my mind that these things will bring me problems in the future. My teeth never complained. All seemed well and I was happy. i have clean teeth. i even went further to buy toothpaste that promises to whiten my teeth.
However, all this time, my teeth were giving me time to adjust to the possibility that they were planning to take me to hell. Now, today, like this minute, my tooth is aching like crazy. Any liquid, food or even wind passing by it, makes it react with anger. it is angry and tired of being fed junk and am paying for it.
I depend on my mouth to pay my bills, am in sales so understand, I can't keep my mouth shut or I will go hungry. So what to do, I thought I'd make him more angry. I decided to continue pitching and every time I made a sales pitch, it would ache and worse, in between pitch with a client. One client asked m if I have been bite due to the squirming sound I have just involuntarily produced. I sent a text to my parents telling them of my condition and my very educated father suggested I keep my mouth shut to reduce the pain. Like i don't know. My boss will start bitching and asking why I am not pitching. Yeah, I have a keen boss and at times is all over you. In case you get to read this, please note that I love your leadership style, Boss.
What to do, I have to eat. But it won't let me. Its the molar upper tooth which means removing it will be more hell.
Tooth Prayer;
Dear God,
I promise to do away with biscuits and sweets and concentrate on salty things like crisps for as long as I live. Please take this pain away.
Everyone joins me to say AMEN!
