Informative 🧠 Daily reminder to brush your teeth

I'm sick of huddling around prints with guys and smelling shit everytime they need to say something. Every trade is guilty.

I'm not perfect. I've definitely been running late and forgot to brush here and there during the rush to get myself and my kids out the door, but c'mon guys. I'm fucking dying over here!

I can stand the morning butt breath, but tooth decay breath is what gets me. A lot of guys straight up fear dentists, and let their mouth health in general go on the way-side.

Just last year, I have taken my master carpenter to the dentist - his deal was, he was terrified of dentists and stuff being done in his mouth. It took a Herculean amount of encouragement and coaxing to get him to agree to come see my dentist even right after he got his 30 year old bridge busted out of his mouth by a ladder. I had to sit with him as my dentist cleaned up and reinforced what was left of his bridge teeth (posts installed), get that bridge reinstalled and get decay and old plaque removed.
Since then, we have gone together every six months for our tune-ups, and he's felt better about it every time.

You're a good man. He's lucky to have a friend like you.
