Dentistry lags

At 86 I'm grateful to modern medicine for still being here but I find some aspects of hunamoid care lag a bit. For instance I asked my dentist to make a crown for the gap formed at the middle of my lower set, caused by the installation some years ago of a front upper set made of a material harder than the teeth, an obvious defect since corrected by the Dental Establishment. So these few were so far worn down that eating anything hard hurt the gum below,

However, they seemed baffled by my need. While I wanted to cover just those 4 or 5 teeth that had been worn down, I was advised that the only sort of fixture available curved clear around toward the back, covering other more nearly normal ones, which would have been an incredible overkill. So they (reluctantly) suggested having it made that way anyhow, then cutting off the excess from both sides, leaving a small "V" to cover the gap

The idea worked beautifully, the new appliance snapping right into place. Golly, I thought, but if The Industry had had any sense at all, it could have made 'em in white material, shaped look like teeth; but I guess that's too much to expect after only 400 years of Dentistry Advancement? So I slid 'em in using Fixodent and now successfully eat with 'em, painlessly now.

As it turned, out, the gadget was 'way thicker than I had specified, and there were a few bumps here and there that I had to sand off but otherwise it works just fine. But here's an open letter to the Dentistry Bunch: Guys, you just gotta catch up quicker!
