Hello

Hello Vicky. I'm David. I'll be

cleaning your teeth today.


At The Dentist

Dr. Peterson has just filled two cavities.

Why do I need a cleaning?

Well, we have to make your

teeth and gums clean and

cavity free.


At The Dentist

I guess that makes sense. Oral health leads

to trouble-free teeth. I'll start off

by removing plaque. Please lean back and

open wide.


At The Dentist

OK, I hope it's not too

bad.

Everybody gets plaque, even if they floss regularly. That's why it's important to come in twice

a year for check-ups.

OK, please take a sip and rinse.


At The Dentist

Ah, that's better.

OK, now I'll apply some fluoride. Which flavor would you like?


At The Dentist

I have a choice?

Sure, we have mint, spearmint, orange or bubble-gum - that's

for the kids.


At The Dentist

I'd like to have the bubble-

gum!

OK. Now, let me give your teeth a final

flossing.


At The Dentist

What type of floss tape do you

recommend?

Personally, I like the flat tape. It's

easier to get between the teeth.


At The Dentist

OK, I'll remember that the next time I

buy floss. How often should I floss?

Everyday! Twice a day if possible! Some

people like to floss after every meal, but that's not absolutely

necessary.


At The Dentist

I feel much better. Thank

you.My pleasure. Have a pleasant day, and remember to floss every day - at least

once a day!

At The Dentist

Hello, Doctor.

Good morning, Pam. How are

you doing today?


At The Dentist

I'm OK. I've been having

some gum pain recently.

Well, we'll take a look. Please recline

and open your mouth.... that's

good.


At The Dentist

How does it look?

Well, there is some inflammation of the gums. I think we should also do a

new set of X-rays.


At The Dentist

Why do you say that? Is

something wrong?

No, no, it's just standard procedure every year. It looks

like you may have a few cavities as well.


At The Dentist

That's not good

news .... hmmm

There are just two and they look

superficial.


At The Dentist

I hope so.

We need to take X-rays to identify tooth decay, as well as check for decay between

the teeth.


At The Dentist

I see. Here, put on this protective

apron.


At The Dentist

OK

Things look good. I don't see any

evidence of further decay.


At The Dentist

That's good news!

Yes, I'll just get these two fillings drilled and then we'll

get your teeth cleaned.
