One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for May 10, 2019

Circular logic

The real answer: so you don’t have to get dentures…

I grew up before fluoride. Joe is lucky that all he’ll probably get is a checkup and a cleaning.

and Joe and Ruthie are probably both thinking “Wait…WHAT?”

That makes perfect sense!

If you aren’t true to your teeth, they’ll be false to you.

There are “dentists” [happy, smiling, teeth-cleaners], and then there are “dentists” [evil, drill-wielding gum-numbers]. Go to one to avoid the other….even if they’re the same person.

The toxins from tooth decay cause many other diseases from heart disease to brain damage. Many clinical cases of mental illness were cured by a trip to the dentist.

As the old folks say “I’m a living witness”.

hmm well your gums bleed when I rub this sharp metal needle across them. You need to brush more and come see me in 3 months so I can run my sharp metal needle across your gums and see if they bleed less.

“He says my teeth are OK,But my gums gotta go.” = Alice Cooper “Unfinished Sweet” lyrics

Cleanings are way cheaper than fillings, root canals, crown and implants.
