At the dentist - Let’s talk with the dentist about tooth aches, dental fillings, anesthesia, injections, price
The dentist: Good afternoon, Marc. Long time no see. How are you?
Marc: Unfortunately, not too good. I have a tooth ache for about a month, but I didn’t have the time to come to the dentist.
The dentist: Let’s see what is it, the upper molar is attacked, the cavity has destroyed most of the dental tissue.
Marc: Do you have to take it out?
The dentist: No, it can still be saved. I’ll make you a dental filling, ok?
Marc: As you say.
The dentist: I’ll give you an anesthesia, we leave it for three minutes and then we get to work.
Marc: Oh, it hurts, the injection or the tooth, I don’t know.
The dentist: The gum is red and swollen. A little longer...there, I’m done. Let’s see: the area is already numb, we can work now. If it hurts, tell me.
Marc: Aha!
After 20 minutes
The dentist: I’m almost done, bite, is it too high?
Marc: Yes, a little, here.
The dentist: Mm, we have to smooth it again, bite it again.
Marc: I don’t feel anything, it is perfect. Give me the mirror to see it, please.
The dentist: Here, how does it look?
Marc: I don’t see a thing, it is like new, thank you, doctor. How much is it?
The dentist: 50 euros. It’s been a pleasure seeing you again. Say hello to your parents for me.
Marc: Have a nice day, and thank you again!
