My Daily Bread

Today’s bread was Veterans Day donuts,
after I skipped like a kid through the parking lot
to visit the rebuilt library. Oh the places
we will go, to quote some doctor or such.
I have to pick and shine my teeth;
my bridge built and ready to install.
Ready, set, go. There is no NO.

My daily bread will be chewed on both sides.
I can’t wait! Do I like to sit in the dentist chair?
To get better I must and my balance muscles
also muster to therapy after kicking the habit
of the aircast boot. Wing-a-ding-ding, as
my friend Jack might say. I miss hearing from him -
hope he is okay. Would like to hear his hip-hip-hooray.

Visiting the dentist is a scary experience. After a certain age, it becomes frequent. Getting the bridge fixed is a happy experience, but the procedures before it are indeed taxing. Wish you dear Kim, happy chewing! Enjoyed your light hearted poem.

I’ve been dealing with a missing tooth and discomfort of the jaw for about a year, chewing gum to compensate. Now I’m normal again and lol, not allowed to chew gum. Bless you, mon amie!

Kim I need some dental work but I am somewhat apprehensive. Dr Ricardo Delgado on Brighteon.com shared from Spain at the La Quinta University. That Pfizer the maker of Lidocaine a popular anesthetic was contaminated with the same ingredients found in the Vaccines. He had his Scientist and Virologist, and chemist examine this anesthetic and they found evidence of this material. I hope they stopped doing this. It went viral and the lying fact checks are saying its not true. They use all kinds

They use many kinds of anesthetics hopefully it wasn't this brand and probably they stopped doing that from all the information that's come forward for the sake of being sued. Check out Brighteon.com and Rumble type in his name. I always dread going to the dentist. Especially in these terrible times. God be with you and protect you...

I dread going to the dentist. although the present one is quite good. (And now my grandson is first in class to become a dentist :)) My last dentist ruined me. He had only one solution. Remove the hurting tooth.
