Dentist: Good morning, Ms Karpinski. What’s the problem?
Patient: I’ve got toothache. I think it’s in this tooth.
Dentist: Right, let me have a look. Open your mouth wide.
Dentist: Does it hurt when I touch it?
Patient: Ow! Yes, it’s very painful.
Dentist: Yes, you’ve got some bad decay in there. I’m going to have to
fill that tooth.
Patient: Oh, OK, Can you do it now?
Dentist: No, you’ll need to book an appointment with the receptionist on the way out. You should do it as soon as possible.
Patient: OK, I’ll do that.
Dentist: And remember to clean your teeth twice a day.
Patient: I will, thank you.
Dentist: Good bye Ms Karpinski
