Is there any excuse?

Hey people I'm in bed at the moment just chilling doing nothing and thought I'd commit some time to my blog.

I know you must hate it when you check my blog and see it hasn't been updated - I know I'm so inconsistent. But I also know your collective hearts flutter when you see I have written something new, like now.

Anyway, I will try to blog more since I have more time on my hands after becoming a graduate (whoop whoop) but if you've been on my FB you'll know I have holidays coming up (more on that later).


Now to get down to the matter at hand.
I'm a man of observation and logic - they are the principles I live by. I observe the physical and apply logic to everything else, mainly the theoretical. One of my recent observations have been....................................TEETH.



Is there any excuse for this in 2009? I mean I am still in disbelief that there are people walking around with such teeth in this day and age. Its even worse when I see people of my generation and younger with "piano key teeth", "Black gums" and chipped teeth.

I mean come on WTF!!!! FIX UP!!! How can I be walking and I see a girl walking towards me. My heart starts to beat quicker because she looks good from a distance, but I know I need to see her closer to confirm this. As we get closer, our eyes meet. I think SHEEEET she's pretty. I begin to close in but then she smiles at me.....................and I'm taken back by what I see.


Not only are your teeth brown, they are not straight. Each one seems to have its own agenda and is shooting off any direction it so chooses. INSTANT TURN OFF. I'm sure many females have had the same experience when it comes to guys.

I honestly feel there is no excuse because as a youngster I was always taught about maintaining my teeth. A smile is door opener. Now if you grew up relying on your local council like I did then you know that dental check ups are FREE and most dental procedures were FREE as well. Which means if you had those gap teeth or MR Ed smile at a young age it was no problem to get fitted with a pair of braces. Now I know no one liked to be seen with braces, but your parents knew it was a necessary sacrifice to gift you with a beautiful set of teeth for your older years. That's why it was better to get them done at a younger age to limit the damage these things did to your social life.

As children my mum always made sure we had out 6 monthly dental check up. I was never afraid of the dentist, in fact I LIKED IT. I liked the whole experience, I thought the dentist chair was the best invention ever. I think I liked it more because luckily I was blessed with beautiful teeth and therefore going to the dentist was a mere formality and allowed me to receive praise from my dentist who always said my teeth were outstanding.

My little brother had braces for a while, and not because his teeth were messed up. He simply had a little condition where his bottom jaw was in front of his top one. It was only noticeable when he smiled and even then it wasn't that bad. But even so, my mum still had him get braces to push his top jaw out. And this was to simply ensure my brother never had any further complication with his teeth.

So when I use reason and logic to wonder why such atrocities such as having bad teeth are still prevalent today I come up with these answers:

1)Your parents simply didn't care about you enough to know how important your teeth are in everyday life.

2)If you didn't rely on the council for certain things then your parents were obviously well off enough to afford any dental procedures but decided against it for some unimaginable reason.

There may be more but they would no doubt delve into the realm of excuses.

I know as British people, the rest of the developed world ignorantly sees us as people that do not care for our teeth. You only need to watch certain episodes of Family Guy to see their depictions of British teeth. But in this day and age I firmly believe there IS SIMPLY NO EXCUSE!

There is nothing more attractive than a beautiful smile.

So what have we learned today?


If you smile at yourself in the mirror and a crack starts to appear then you need to do something about your teeth NOW!

Go to the dentist - he is your friend! He only wants the best for you and your teeth.

You know if you have bad teeth or not- JUST GO GET THEM FIXED, PLEASE.

I cannot believe we are in 2009 and I have to be writing a blog post about this! You have been warned.
