Your Teeth

Can kill you

By Colleen WaltersPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

The grill. My chicklets.

The toofusses, my choppers,

got cleaning today.

—-

Pickety pick pick

goes the pointy thing, as water

splashes in my nose.

—-

I close my eyes as

the whirring starts, I find my

self gripping the chair.

—-

Sugar is the worst.

Compounds with bacteria

to cause tooth decay.

—-

So if nothing else,

please take care of your teeth

Cause they can kill you.

—-

Just floss, water pik,

brush and rinse religiously

for a healthy you.
