I faced the chilly day on my bike ride to see the dentist. Unlike the majority of adult Americans who have two untreated cavities in their mouth, I had a great checkup and cleaning. I do have two new chipped teeth from being kicked in the head unintentionally on Saturday by a beloved student.
Neither require any further attention, as they are not visible nor compromising my dental health. As I told my student after the incident, it’s an occupational hazard, as is peaceful energy, a strong and flexible body and a clear and focused mind. Overall, teaching is worth the drawbacks.
Is your job worth it’s drawbacks? Can you take time off to get your teeth cleaned and checked? Ki to Happiness smiles with clean healthy teeth as she works.
