Looking Forward With Confidence

Today I went to my dentist to pick up my new mouthguard. It's supposed to keep me from grinding my teeth at night and, in the process, align the joints and muscles of my jaw to combat my TMJ. My dentist also promised I would get a better night's sleep. He put the hard clear plastic tray over my top teeh to make sure it fit properly and then, having run out of carrying cases, packaged my guard in a box marked "Denture Essentials," supplying me with much-needed confidence as I strode through the waiting area on my way out. I eagerly await the perusal of the denture brochure I received (along with Poligrip and Polident samples) in my box entitled "Looking Forward With Confidence."

You can always pick out a denture wearer by the broad arc of perfectly formed teeth. If I ever need dentures, I'm going to have to chip part of a tooth replace one with gold or something so it's not quite obvious.

I wonder whether the Polident tablets will create a luxurious spa feeling if I drop them in the bathtub? I will have to pass them along to my friend David, who just returned from a spa and may want to try them on his newly buffed face.
