Wisdom Tooth
We live longer than our teeth ever intended.
Don’t trust me,
trust them.
If you want to be smiling in your casket,
you’d better take good care of your teeth.
Spend a few shekels.
Brush and floss them regularly.
Remember, your teeth know all your secrets -
what you put in your mouth,
what comes out of your mouth.
Healthy teeth are silent,
and just maybe,
the secret to a long life.
