Prompt #74: Brush + Smile

Hello Writers and Journalers,

Today’s two-word prompt is Brush and Smile. It’s easy to brush this one off as a bit too obvious, but this is a random pairing and it invites you to ask yourself:

What is your relationship with your teeth?

How much do you think of them? How much do you take care of them?

Are you in a state of avoidance and neglect, or maintenance and respect?

And what’s at the base of where you are with your relationship with your teeth? Do you take care of them because it’s something you’ve always done? Do you neglect them because it’s something you’ve always done?

Do you understand the science behind taking care of your teeth and how it affects your whole body?

Are you afraid of the dentist or do you enjoy going to the dentist?

Your teeth and your relationship to them in your heart and mind are important for your self health. Investigate and either acknowledge yourself for good behavior or take steps to modify your behavior and treat your teeth with the respect they deserve.

They are worth it.
