Everything in life comes at a price.I realised it at a very tender age when the most common,innocent yet the most beautiful and catchy expression of mine had to be paid for.My own biological set up demanded just a few muscles to strain themselves as against a frown.But the reflection of blissful and euphoric state of my mind had a hidden price tag.
My milkteeth were just the perfect,set in an orderly fashion but the permanent ones just deceived me.The lower teeth were a bit long and had forced the upper frontmost two teeth out giving me a rabbit like appearance.
Dr. Ravindranath was fixed and the three months of my class tenth vacation the time to relocate the front two to normalcy.It was one of the torturous phases of my life.Four teeth were ruthlessly taken off to pave the way for the front two to be flat.Sitting on the dentists chair with my mouth wide open I suffered all the pain silently the after effects being ulcers,swollen gums and sacrifice of my most favourite and stumptous food stuffs.A few lost kilos and icecreams to soothe the sores in my mouth were my only relief.The price paid was Rs.18000.I lived with those steel clips for almost 2 years.The end of 12th boards put an end to the tenure of the steel clips and I was soon out of it.My smile looked just toooooo good after all it cost me 18000.
History repeats.This is the second sad realisation in my life. The lower teeth couldnt take the peer pressure of engineering.It just pushed and pushed the upper ones all through the 8 semesters.Back home my parents felt the need to consult a dentist for me to bear a perfect look.This time Dr. Mohan fixed and he has gifted me a pair of retainers in exchange of Rs.6000 to be retained for an year.'This will just fix your lower teeth never prompting them again' I am being assured these days and as an obedient patient carrying them in my mouth, praying this at least would be the last time.Poor me.
Having paid the price and the retainers doing their job now my grin costs 24000.Everytime I smile please be kind enough to smile back if possible a wide and a broad one. Coz its a 24000 watt smile.Coz I am worth it.
