Occasional Observations

Well, ok, it's not THAT bad but after a week of toothache and an hour in the dentist's chair I'm feeling beaten up. My bad British teeth just aren't engineered to German or American standards and this means regular maintenance. This time it's a stark choice - either say goodbye to a molar, or enjoy a root canal filling. An ingenious machine designed by Dr Röntgen will reveal all, but first I have to wait for two weeks. And then, the choice ain't mine.

Teeth, huh? What are they good for? Why haven't humans evolved into sporting ceramic molars yet? The average human lifespan has more than doubled in the last thousand years but tooth technology is way behind. At least if the rotting one does have to go, then I could have an implant - after that, perhaps it's plain sailing for a few years at least.
