• A Dental Ceramist Story

    From Mike Dippel@954:895/1 to All on Tue Dec 7 14:43:46 2021
    A ceramist is defined as a 'craftsman who shapes pottery on a potter's wheel and bakes
    them it a kiln. ceramicist, potter, thrower. artisan, journeyman, artificer, craftsman - a
    skilled worker who practices some trade or handicraft'.

    A dental ceramist, sometimes referred to as a dental technician, creates ceramics and
    prosthetics, such as dentures, bridges and crowns, for dental patients.

    Years ago, while living in a Townhome. I decided to install an 'unauthorized' window air
    conditioner into the kickplate of my rear screen room. It had tinted vinyl windows and
    this would help to cool of a room that had a western exposure.

    When the property manager found it and reported it to the association, I was told by the
    Board to remove it. They said that if they were to allow something like this, they would
    use my installation as the model for how to do it because it was done so well. But, I still
    had to remove it.

    The guy that told me this was a dental ceramist. Now I know why he went into that
    profession. He probably had to replace his own teeth after he delivered the bad news to
    others in the community who wanted to smash him in the face.
