"Tooth brushes, Toothaste & Toothpicks"

These are some of the things you might need for good oral hygiene, you will need to have some teeth in order use these items.
But where do you stop, if you only have half a mouth full of these crusher or choppers, as some would call them, do you think that TOOTH brushes, or TOOTH paste and TOOTH picks, will be necessary  if you only have two or three teeth left in your mouth?
 
You had baby teeth that you lost as a child and then you grew a permeant set of teeth, they came free at the start and it was up to you to take real good care of them, but candy and sweets were so good, as you know sweets are great for bribing kids.
The permeant set of teeth were supposed to serve you for life. Neglect them and you will be starting a long time relationship with a Dentist and there are so many to choose from.  They can work miracles as long as you have money to spend. Who can say, just how much that million dollar smile will cost you, but you will have them for the rest of your earth time to enjoy and use.
What about some of us people that have no teeth or money to spend for replacements. We can only eat soft foods, while we set and watch you and others eat Steak Apples or Corn on the cob and all that good stuff like raw carrots, celery. Yeah, I know, we can have all of this also as long as it is crushed, mashed, strained through a sieve or pounded to a pulp.
Remember when you heard that George Washington, chopped down that cherry tree! Did you ever hear why he did it?  He had some teeth made out of the wood.  While they were carving, they made some tooth picks and chop-sticks also. Did you didn’t know, that George invented them.  George was a thrifty person, he used the cherry blossoms to make toilet water for the ladies also. His whisky sales were down so he had to do something to earn a living, The Smith brothers were giving old George some real competition.
