Dialog 2

Al the Dentist’s

When we have toothache (when a tooth hurts us), we go the dentist’s. The dentist examines our teeth and performs a treatment. We often can hear he says: «That tooth has a cavity and I must stop it (or I must put in a filling)». If the tooth is too bad, the dentist extracts it.

Receptionist: Dr. Green’s office. May I help you?

Patient: My name is Black. I’ve got a dental appointment at 3 o’clock

today. But I would like to put off my appointment to see the

dentist earlier, somewhere in the morning. Would you mind

arranging it?

Receptionist: Just a minute. I’ll see the list of appointments. (After

some minutes) Yes, you can come at 9a.m. to see Dr. Green.

Patient: Thank you very much.

Receptionist: Not at all.

(In the Dr. Green’s office)

Patient: Doctor, I have a very bad toothache?

Dentist: Sit down in the chair here. Thus, open your mouth, please.

(He examines his visitor’s teeth) Which tooth is it that hurts

you (pains you)?

Patient: It’s a big tooth at the back on the left. Ugh! That hurts very

badly.

Dentist: Yes, that tooth has a big cavity, but I think I can stop it for

you.

Why didn’t you come earlier?

Patient: Well, you know, it is not quite a pleasure to go to the

dentist’s.

And every time I decided to come, it got better.

Dentist: I’ll put a filling in this one, but there is another tooth hear it

which is too bad to be filled. I suppose, I’ll have to extract

it. But don’t be afraid, it will not hurt you. I shall give you

an injection before I extract it.

Next day our patient could answer the somebody’s question with confident: “My tooth doesn’t pain me now”.
