Thank God for divorce ! A woman complains in an Ann
Landers column this morning that her husband has not brushed
his teeth in 20 years ! " He rarely kisses me which is probably
a good thing ". Is there any torture quite like forced intimacy
with people who disgust us ?
But the woman just wants advice- not a divorce. Ann
tells her that his dental hygiene might improve " when
he gets really sick because of an infection that started in his
mouth. "
The woman said that her insurance does not cover dental
appointments. Is it not stupid for our medical care system
to separate dental health from general health ?
Indeed Wanda Howard this morning quotes the nation's
surgeon general : " Oral health is integral to a person's
general health ".
Please don't tell millions without dental insurance to
just " brush your teeth and say your prayers ! "
