Drabble by Kevin Fagan for February 23, 2023

Yikes!

A lot can happen in 10 years. Like losing your teeth!

My teeth are cleaned every three months.

Oh you’ll remember when your teeth are rotting and hurting and falling out, especially with all that junk that you eat, Ralph!

Maybe he needs to go to a different dentist, one who isn’t quite so busy.

Besides, Ralph; who says either one of you will be around in 10 years?

I see my dentist every 6 months for cleaning and checkups. Fortunately for me, my home care is pretty good and it is rare for me to have an issue.

Take care off your teeth and your feet and your eyes and you’ll live much less pain free !

Healthy oral hygiene is a key to good health in the rest of your body!Floss daily!!

That’s what a government health plan is like.

The last time I was at the dentist he asked me when was the last time I flossed. I said “come on doctor, you were there.”

Ralph may check out before his next checkup.

And then he’ll probably cancel the appointment. “I was busy shopping for shoelaces that day.”

After age 50 or so, it’s a periodontal matter.

He’ll be a little long in the tooth, by that time.

So … Dr. Cheshire retired?
