  3. when a persons dentures break, he can no longer do this

down

  1. water temperature for denture storage so that they do not dry out and warp
  2. artificial teeth

Explanation:

Analyze the crossword clues and grid layout

  • Down 1: "Water temperature for denture storage so that they do not dry out and warp"
  • Grid 1 Down has 12 letters.
  • The correct term is COOL or COLD or LUKEWARM. Let's check the letters.
  • Looking at the grid, 1 Down starts at the first letter of 1 Across.
  • Let's look at 1 Across: "A type of dental..." (cut off, but likely "A type of dental prosthesis that replaces missing teeth" -> DENTURE or DENTURES).
  • 1 Across has 8 letters: D-E-N-T-U-R-E-S.
  • If 1 Across is DENTURES (8 letters):
  • Letter 1: D (intersects 1 Down, which starts with D? No, 1 Down starts at the 4th letter of 1 Across? Let's trace: 1 Across starts at the box labeled '1'. 1 Down starts above it? No, the vertical column labeled '1' is not there, but there is a vertical column intersecting 1 Across. Let's look at the numbers:
  • '1' is in the first box of the horizontal word. So 1 Across starts there.
  • '2' is at the bottom of a vertical column of 5 boxes.
  • '3' is at the bottom of a vertical column of 5 boxes.
  • '4' is at the start of a horizontal word of 9 boxes: 4 Across is "Artificial teeth" -> DENTURES (8 letters) or PROSTHESIS? Let's check: "Artificial teeth" -> DENTURES (8 letters).
  • Let's re-examine the clues on the left:
  • Across:
  • 5. "A type of dental... [prosthesis] that replaces missing teeth" -> BRIDGE (6 letters) or DENTURE (7 letters).
  • 6. "Temperature of water that can warp dentures" -> HOT (3 letters).
  • 7. "When a person's dentures break, he can no longer do this" -> EAT (3 letters) or CHEW (4 letters).
  • Down:
  • 1. "Water temperature for denture storage so that they do not dry out and warp" -> COOL (4 letters) or COLD (4 letters).
  • 4. "Artificial teeth" -> DENTURES (8 letters).

Match clues to the grid numbers

  • 4 Down: Starts high up, goes down through the intersection of the second horizontal word.
  • Clue 4 Down: "Artificial teeth" -> DENTURES (8 letters).
  • Let's count the boxes for 4 Down: It has 8 boxes above the intersection line, and goes down. Total boxes in that long vertical column: 12 boxes.
  • Wait, let's count the vertical column starting near the top: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 boxes.
  • If 4 Down is DENTURES, that is 8 letters. But the column labeled '4' starts at the intersection of the second horizontal row. The '4' is in the box where the horizontal row starts.
  • Let's look at the horizontal row starting with '4': It has 9 boxes: 4, _, _, _, _, _, _, 7, _.
  • Let's look at the vertical column going up from '4': It has 8 boxes above '4'.
  • Let's look at the clues again:
  • 1 Down: "Water temperature for denture storage..." -> COOL or COLD.
  • 4 Down: "Artificial teeth" -> DENTURES (8 letters).
  • 5 Across: "A type of..." -> BRIDGE or DENTURE.
  • 6 Across: "Temperature of water that can warp dentures" -> HOT.
  • 7 Across: "When a person's dentures break, he can no longer do this" -> EAT or CHEW.
