What causes tartar? Tartar on your teeth, you might have been eating too much chocolate. Tsk. Tsk.

I brush my teeth, that's for sure. But I'm like tartar... minus the yucky factor.

According to www.dentalfind.com, tartar "is a yellow or brownish a mixture of minerals in the saliva, food particles, and dead plaque bacterial cells". It also grows quickly once it becomes crusty and attaches to the teeth. Simply put, it's just hardened plaque.

Like me, I'm hardened (dirt, haha, no!) by experience. Hardened by life. But just on top. The pulp inside me is still soft. Hey, I'm not dead. I get hurt you know, just like when bacteria hit your nerves.

I'm a musician, I play the guitar (a little, hopefully more) obviously. I could be irritating (just like the tartar on your teeth), I am an imperfection in the face of the world. But I'm definitely an inevitable part of the world's smile.

I'm tartar, but that's just metaphor. Not entirely tartar, there's some teeth left.

Fine, I was just using rationalization. I was just trying to spice up my nick, haha.

But seriously, there's nothing wrong with what I said. I'm a GUITARTARONYOURTEETH.

Rock the Tartar.
