© 2015 albert-learning.com At The Dentist Hello Hello Vicky. I'm David. I'll be cleaning your teeth today.

© 2015 albert-learning.com 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.

© 2015 albert-learning.com 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.

© 2015 albert-learning.com 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.

© 2015 albert-learning.com At The Dentist Ah, that's better. OK, now I'll apply some fluoride. Which flavor would you like?

© 2015 albert-learning.com At The Dentist I have a choice? Sure, we have mint, spearmint, orange or bubble-gum - that's for the kids.

© 2015 albert-learning.com At The Dentist I'd like to have the bubble- gum! OK. Now, let me give your teeth a final flossing.

© 2015 albert-learning.com 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.

© 2015 albert-learning.com 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.

© 2015 albert-learning.com 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!

© 2015 albert-learning.com At The Dentist Hello, Doctor. Good morning, Pam. How are you doing today?

© 2015 albert-learning.com 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.

© 2015 albert-learning.com 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.

© 2015 albert-learning.com 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.

© 2015 albert-learning.com At The Dentist That's not good news.... hmmm There are just two and they look superficial.

© 2015 albert-learning.com 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.

© 2015 albert-learning.com At The Dentist I see. Here, put on this protective apron.

© 2015 albert-learning.com At The Dentist OK Things look good. I don't see any evidence of further decay.

© 2015 albert-learning.com At The Dentist That's good news! Yes, I'll just get these two fillings drilled and then we'll get your teeth cleaned.
