Thoroughly Thankful and Poetic Thursday #14

Today I'm joining the 

Thankful Thursday hosted by

    

Today I'm very thankful for the wonderful word of dental technology.  The last crown I had many years ago took almost 3 weeks for it to be made.  Impressions made by the dentist then sent to a lab for the crown to be made.    Monday I had a 3 hour appointment. The worst part was about 45 minutes of drilling to get the old one off and preparing the tooth for the crown.  I admit to being quite tense during this process.  Work was on the lower back tooth and there may have been some gagging going on. LOL 

I was tickled to learn the dentist would be making my crown in house no middle man aka lab.  They made several scans the area around the crown location.  A 3D image popped up on the screen. The scan is sent to the 'mill'. 

Three hours later I had a new crown no return trips.

 Below info found on line:

Zirconia crowns are milled from a solid piece of zirconia. They are either finished with a top layer of porcelain, or finished in pure zirconia. As they are made from either a direct scan of your tooth, or a scan of a high accuracy impression, the resulting seal and fit is superior to that of a basic cast crown. This procedure took about 1 hour.   Crown is fitted and bit checked.  Then the crown is cemented and there is a special drying tool that is 'waved' over the crown to help cement dry.   Zirconia crowns are used most often in the back and upper part of the mouth.  Ceramic is used in front where the crown is visible.  Ceramic crowns are easy to match to the color of teeth.

Youthful Yummies

One of my absolutely most yummy youthful memories  is making bananas splits with my Daddy, who by the way was King of anything banana.  I don't have any photos except in My Mind's Eye.  I borrowed a photo from the internet.  It is very close to the one's I remember

Bananas used were just bought that day. Skin was nice and yellow w/o any hint of bruising.

We had every known topping for a perfect banana split with a cherry on top.  Candied nuts and cherries, all kinds of ice cream, runny strawberry topping, Reddi-wip cream in the can, chocolate sauce warmed just enough to make it run down into all the crooks and crannies of the gastronomical dessert. 

Of course we had to squirt a generous portion in our mouths several times.

Daddy also had his own way of making a banana sandwich.  Most folks would put mayo on white bread, slice the banana and call it done.

Daddy said the bananas fell out making a mess.  He would slice all the banana in large pieces in to a bowl.  Add mayo to them and mash with a folk.  Once the consistency was perfect, he spread it on the bread.  Magically you had a banana sandwich that was not messy.
