An Effective Decay Preventive Dentifrice

That Can Be of Value When Used With Regular Professional Care

By Gerard DiLeoPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Oral Hygiene and Hanging Loose

Each of my teeth

Is hanging by a thread

On top and underneath

Each is dangling from my head

.

When windy they tintinnabulate

Chiming with chagrin

People with noses abdicate

From the halitosis downwind

.

I dangle them in chlorine

To one day prepare

For oral hygiene

And regular professional care
