Sober tooth-worry: the traveller's brush and anti-corrosive toothpaste

timeline_event

texture · YDAU, c. 8-14 Nov

When: YDAU (2009); worry began "a few days before the debacle in which Don Gately got hurt" (i.e. before 11 Nov), narrated as of 14 Nov
What: In sobriety Joelle's caring crashes back as obsessive worry about what freebase cocaine has done to her teeth (Chandler Foss's corroded stumps at supper feed the dread); she now carries a traveller's toothbrush and an expensive over-the-counter enamel-revitalizing toothpaste in her purse.
