No access to dental care also has implications on the ability to
communicate.
I'm always conscious, for example, when facilitating workshops and doing
presentations, of the extra care I must take not to slur my words. You
see, my teeth have eroded, many molars have had to be removed over the
years (extraction is cheaper), and now my cheeks fall in and affect my
ability to articulate properly. I have to make a conscious effort to try
to open wider my already naturally small mouth to enable the words to be
shaped properly. This adds to the tension of speaking in public.
If I could be granted one wish, it would be to have my mouth fixed.
