I had a mouth of very bad teeth during my teenage time. The most apparent reason behind it is my good appetite for everything. I’m born to be a foodie with no doubt, thus, especially my craziness for Skittles and Easter-egg wrapped chocolate became the chief criminal of my snaggle toothed when I was a primary student.
So the god send the dentist to punish me for my greediness.Instead of the sweet through my mouth and feeling of satisfaction, I have a really bitter and painful memory when I think of the every experience that I go to the dentist for my tooth decay and orthodontics.
I had some nightmares, literally, the leading actor was my doctor in charge. She is a really great lady who made a lot of money from opening a lot of clinic branches in a city scale, as her outstanding and exquisite craft doing the dental surgery. Although she is a really nice lady, the most awful part came from her hand. It was the moment when I lay on the dental unit,like a sacrificial lamb with great horror but cannot make it appearing on my face as I don’t want to see her laughing at me or my mom blaming me for eating so much sweet that I was the one who made the bed and lay in it. But I did cry inside my brain and act like a tragedy actor when I suffered from the anesthetic needle. The hurt and sore feeling, not exaggeration, can compete with root inflammation to be the NO.1 ranked pain in the human history.
Tears just burst out and I was not failed to feel hopeless again. And just after few times my mom made it to remind me the warning she ever did – “You will be meeting the dentist next Sunday if you forget to wash your tooth when you go to sleep. I saw your toothbrush and toothpaste still the position where it was yesterday, don’t ever try to fool me！”
So just after that, I did what she suggested in the coming years until now. I do wash my tooth everyday and I consumed with different brands of toothpaste at an amazing speed. I must say that I probably addicted to the toothpaste to some extent from then on. There was a time I tasted the different flavours of toothpaste for fun, but the most delicious one is still supposed to be the original white rabbit toothpaste for children. And the most amazing part is that washing my tooth become a rooted consciousness deep in my heart finally,even after I fall asleep deep unknowingly, I will struggle to wake up to wash my tooth.
Then after the orthodontics, I have a visible improvement of my teeth appearance, but I still got decay wisdom tooth sometimes, for me, it is a caution light from the god- don’t eat too much or you’ll be punished, the only key to this question is the toothpaste. So I keep that in my mind.
To every life we’ve got a clue, to every question we can find an answer.So today’s first story and keyword in my life would be the toothpaste.
