Wish list

In the past, when bonfires were huge, winters were cold, and most houses were heated by a coal fire it was traditional in the weeks leading up to Christmas for small children to write a letter to Santa with requests for presents. This letter would be posted, with great anticipation, up the chimney where as if by magic it would be transported to Lapland. But what should one put on the list? It wouldn’t do to be too greedy would it? But on the other hand, new bikes or expensive toys were normally out of reach.....and so it’s interesting to speculate what dentists would hope to find in Santa’s sack this year.

First on the list might be the new wonder cement that works with the constantly de-bonding post crowns made by others in the past, followed by a close second of the topical anaesthetic cream that instantly anaesthetises the pulp.
