Smile

An ear-to-ear smile

is worth it…

   as patient

   as dentist

      despite the consuming pain.

For the patient

the benefit is…

   beyond time

   beyond cost

      despite the lacking coverage.

For the dentist

the benefit is…

   beyond work

   beyond pay

      despite the daunting risks.

The benefit

is the smile…

   of confidence

   of radiance

      respite for pearly whites.

Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me." Well, for years I was smart, oh so very smart, I too recommend pleasant - Trust the harmony
