As usual, I woke up this morning, made a cup of Assam tea and breathed the day in. One of my teeth twitched with the heat of the tea and I thought maybe the enamel of that tooth was wearing. Last June I visited my dentist, Dr Maccle, for a check-up, so I guess another trip to my dentists Glasgow is due.
Opening my mouth wide in front of the mirror, I examined the tooth. Periodically, I use a teeth whitening product to give back the more natural tone to my teeth. Just looking at that tooth my vision started to zoom in and out (probably from all the focused concentration) and suddenly that particular tooth looked huge. Something like the tusk belonging to the elephant I saw at the zoo three months ago. I felt in need of an implant dentist Glasgow more than ever at that moment.
Thinking about this elephant and its tusk got me thinking about ivory, which is also dentine, and its use in creating piano keys. I tapped my tooth and the sound resonated in my head. A sensation is a bit like wearing ear plugs as you walk with the echo of footsteps in your head. Surely people all over the world must loose their teeth and those that choose to, replace these lost teeth with artificial teeth. I wondered if human teeth were ever recycled, a bit like hair to make hair extensions.
