Teeth



I wouldn't have thought that going to Guatemala would mean big things for my dental habits, but man, all I want to do is brush and floss. My "mom" here has approximately 7 teeth. Today I was watching her talk and saw this pink think in the side of her mouth and was about to break the news to her about the weird tumor growing in her mouth, when I realized it was actually her tongue poking out between her 7 dientes as she spoke.

Also, the clinic where I work in has a group of Canadian dentists who have been doing teeth extractions all week and there are some really gross teeth out here. Lots of brown rotting things that I guess manage to break food down.

And to give a more idealistic image of guatemala:

this is a beach i went to once in Guate.
