Repopulate the Good Bacteria

I’m resting on a large lawn on a yoga mat. It’s some kind of public space, maybe a school of some kind, and there are many other people spread around. I see and overhear an Indian woman dentist talking to my actual dentist in walking life about his teeth problems and what she recommends. Then she tells him about my teeth problems as an example of something different but worse. She says essentially that there is an imbalance of bad bacteria in my mouth and my teeth will become loose and fall out. When they are done talking I approach her and tell her that I don’t appreciate her sharing my personal health information with others but even more than that I don’t understand why she didn’t share this important information with me! She apologizes and says that to repopulate the good bacteria in my mouth I need to go to a farm with cows and horses and buy some “human grade bird seed” and apples from the farm store and eat them. I proceed to do this.
