Wonders 8 - White Teeth

Why did Hashem decide to paint our teeth white ?
The Talmud ( kesubos 111b) speaks about this. Why did Hashem also make milk white ?
There is a connection. White is a color that is symbolic of cleanliness , purity & gentleness. A pleasant , white SMILE relaxes people as it shows them that you care about them & are happy to see them.
Thus the gemara teaches that showing the white of your teeth to others in a pleasant smile is a greater kindness than just offerring someone a delicious cup of healthy , nutritious , white milk. Giving the milk is also a kindness but giving a smile is much greater because it demonstrates your thoughts & feelings a out that person. You care about them.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
