Question

why does the narrator from the poem oh I wish I'd looked after me teeth say it is a time of reckoning for her now

Answer 1

The poet said that because she regrets now that she had not looked after her teeth in the past and also that she had not given much importance to brushing her teeth. She also says that if she'd known that all the sherbat and toffees she ate would cause her to this state she would have thrown all the sherbat and toffees. She says she suffers now because of her past events
