...shows up at the Thayer's summer home for Norman's birthday. One can believe that Chelsea would turn up for such an event, but it's a bit of a strain to imagine her bringing along her demind-boyfriend to be skewered by Norman's verbal parries. The dentist (Debney Coleman), incidentally, is the real McCoy; he wears a light blue cotton Suit, a white and blue plaid short and a dark solid tie. Now that is a dentist. What requires a great leap of faith is understanding why Chelsea wants to unload the dentist's 13-year...
Carey, 62, helped restore New York City and State to financial health. But his personal behavior was sometimes erratic. When a dentist started building a house that would block the view from Carey's summer home on Shelter Island, the Governor wanted the neighboring property seized under the right of eminent domain. Engie Gouletas had foibles too. She incorrectly said that her first ex-husband was dead and claimed that there were only two exes, not three.

Encasing even one chipped or rotted tooth in a cap can run anywhere from $300 to $600, and the process is tedious and uncomfortable. Lately, however, a less expensive alternative has been gaining popularity. Called tooth bonding...
...porcelain or gold jacket prepared in the dental laboratory from a wax impression is carefully cemented on. Capping even one tooth can take three or four sittings. In bonding, there is no drilling, no anesthetic is used, and several teeth can be bonded during a single visit to the dentist. Diluted phosphoric acid is applied to the natural tooth, etching microscopic pores into the enamel. Next comes a coat of liquid plastic to seal the tooth. Then a paste composed of plastic and finely ground quartz, glass or silica is patted on in thin layers tinted to match the natural...
