Dealing With Toothache

~ Gottfried

Some tortures are physical and some are mental, but the one that is both is dental. The man with toothache thinks everyone whose teeth are sound are happy. The poverty-stricken man makes the same mistake about the rich man. Love conquers all except poverty and toothache. 

Happiness is your dentist telling you it won’t hurt and then having him catch his hand in the drill. Most people don’t go to the dentist until they have a toothache. Most societies do not reform abuse until the victims begin to make life uncomfortable for others by farting on the bus. 

Missing you is like having a bad tooth ache without the meds. During the Middle Ages, it was customary to kiss a donkey if you had a toothache. As if having a toothache was not humiliating enough. A pain bigger than a toothache and side by side with labor, male cramps. 

My friends call me the tooth fairy. But I don’t think the real tooth fairy sells her own teeth for cash. During her last outing, as thankful as I am for the tooth fairy’s contributions, I must painfully point out that due to rising costs and inflation, it’s not just worth anything anymore.

There’s absolutely no rationale for calling them wisdom teeth. Your wisdom teeth getting painfully ripped from your gums and what’s even worse, you’re paying for it to happen. You’re spending hard earned money to lose what little wisdom you had left. Oh, the irony. 

A man’s free will cannot cure him even of the toothache, or a sore finger, and yet he madly thinks it’s in his power to cure his soul. If you have more cavities than you have teeth, you’ve led a ‘sweet’ life. Take it easy. There is absolutely no need to bite off more than you can chew. 

Bad decisions make good stories. Keep entertaining!

  6. The crazy thing about toothache and by extension oral hygiene is that you could do the oil pulling, water flossing, dental flossing, mouth wash and still not be free from toothache. In the end, nothing can save you except luck 🤞
