Teeth

Yesterday I got to thinking about my teeth, which I don't normally do. Consider the importance of teeth. Teeth influence how people perceive you, how you speak, how your voice sounds, how you eat, and help you display emotions. Teeth are used frequently. While at work, a coffeeshop mind you, I realized how often I really consider what I put in my mouth and how well I take care of them based on their importance in my life. Come to find out, not very. Some days I don't even brush my teeth before going to bed because I'm not home where my toothbrush lives or I'm just too lazy. I never floss. On my once a year visit to the dentist, I am told to start flossing, but I simply brush off the advice as a nuisance.
If I'm not careful, I may end up like George Washington. Except nowadays, we're a bit more advanced than wood. However, there's not excuse because we have toothbrushes and dental floss.
