                                                                   Imagine yourself as the narrator of the poem; Express your regret over the damage of cavities, decay, etc in your teeth.             

Answer:

                    I wish I had taken care of my teeth when I had more good teeth than cavities. Now that I have those cavities I have to undergo drilling and have fillings. I have to bear the pain of drilling being done in my mouth. I could have averted this condition of mine, had I stopped eating all kinds of sticky sweets. The items I loved eating were candies, toffees, liquorices sweet hard peanuts, sherbet dabs etc. It is obvious that due to eating all kinds of sweets I had more cavities than before. Now, at this stage I regret for neglecting the care of my teeth, I did't brush my teeth carefully, rather I thought my parents' advice to be worthless; but now, I realise the value of those words, Now, I have to sit in the dentist's chain after taking an appointment and bearing the pain. I also laughed at my mother's dentures but now I feel that they are beckoning to me, I too have to use artificial teeth and some one else would similarly laugh at me. That is why it is well said, 'As you sow, so shall you reap'.
