When I was a child, my teeth used to(26)point in several different directions, and(27)inevitably that involved rather expensive(28)dentistry. And my horrible memory is of(29)wearing lots of wire bands, around my teeth for years and years. They really didn’t do much good to my teeth because they seem to be(30)sliding back into their original(31)positions now.
    When I was a child, my teeth were poor because in(32)Scotland, where I came from, we tend to eat a great deal of sugar. Also we(33)tend to eat a lot of fried food there, which of course is not very good for the gums, the two areas of firm pink flesh in which the teeth are fixed. So when I was about fourteen, I got false teeth, which is terrible for a young boy of fourteen.
    As a child, I never imagined that I would have problems with my teeth, but I did. It wasn’t something that I was(34)conscious of at the time, but as I developed I realized that I had two very prominent front teeth which(35)stuck out. And like some of us around the table, I had to have considerable work done to straighten these teeth out.
