I had a get-poor-quick scheme all put together in my head, the result of musing while flossing and thinking “there has to be a better way!” I thought I was just a little bit of genetic engineering away from perfect teeth forever.
Foolishly, I actually went and looked up some facts before I wrote up the post. I’ll not be making that mistake again! Holy crap facts are the last thing I needed, and not really in keeping with the get-poor-quick ethos.
I did learn that the surface of your teeth is host to an amazingly complex and adaptable ecosystem with 1000 different kinds of bacteria, forming a complex structure that changes as time passes. My little genetically modified tooth scrubbers wouldn’t stand a chance; there’s nothing I could invent that’s not already in there and part of the system.
Unless…
Hang on, I’ll get back to you on this after I don’t check some more facts.
*Sigh* Back to flossing.
Dang, how do you type and floss? That there is some mad skillz!
Here I was figuring there is a new app for that…
do you think facts suck?
or is it really ‘plaques suck’
we know New York sucks
Awesome! After all this time, a new poem for the rotation. Special bonus for ending all lines with ‘suck’.
And on the subject of facts, the 1000 species of bacteria I mention above are strictly the ones in the biofilm that coats your teeth. In your entire mouth the biodiversity is much greater, perhaps topping 25,000 species.
There is a party in your mouth!
