TEETH, THE PRECIOUS POSSESSION

 SUNDAY MUSINGS -


Never been lucky to have a beautiful line of pearly teeth, I have always envied people gifted with shiny symmetrical denture. My asymmetric assemblage has sometimes invited the uncharitable comparison with Dracula which I knew was an exaggeration. Despite all this I could not care less for the cosmetic side as long as I had no problem with biting into food, the sole purpose of having been equipped with  the tool. I have had trouble due to toothache occurring many a time but got over with minor medication. 

Fortunately I  didn't have to go for RCT or removal of an odd tooth.

So far so good.  Now over a period of time I have lost half my teeth, and as if by some design, am denied the luxury of having roasted chana, my all time favourite. Not a big deal even this.

To make the matters worse, my better half points out to some change in my voice, attributing it to my loss of teeth. Regularly she keeps persuading me to go for denture, which advice I hardly relish. Removal of my remaining natural teeth and replacing them with an artificial equipment - the idea simply does not amuse me and puts me off !

No false claims of Abhi To Main Jawan Hun  in my case.........!
