How to Have a Conversation With Your Dentist in English Dental Check-up Sam: Hello, Doctor. Dr. Peterson: Good morning, Sam. How are you doing today? Sam: Im OK. Ive been having some gum pain recently. Dr. Peterson: Well, well take a look. Please recline and open your mouth.... thats good. Sam:(after being examined) How does it look? Dr. Peterson: Well, there is some inflammation of the gums. I think we should also do a new set of S-rays. Sam: Why do you say that? Is something wrong? Dr. Peterson: No, no, its just standard procedure every year. It looks like you may have a few cavities as well. Sam: Thats not good news .... hmmm Dr. Peterson: There are just two and they look superficial. Sam: I hope so. Dr. Peterson: We need to take X-rays to identify tooth decay, as well as check for decay between the teeth. Sam: I see. Dr. Peterson: Here, put on this protective apron. Sam: OK. Dr. Peterson: (after taking the X-rays) Things look good. I dont see any evidence of further decay. Sam: Thats good news! Dr. Peterson: Yes, Ill just get these two fillings drilled and taken care of and then well get your teeth cleaned.
