Lesson 29
AT THE DENTIST’S OFFICE
I. NOTE
If you need dental work while you are in the U.S., you can usually find prompt,
reliable care by calling a dentist. Although most dentists, like doctors, prefer that you
have an appointment, they will normally make allowances if you have a true emer-
gency.
As with doctors, be prepared to pay for treatment when you leave. More an more
health care professionals accept credit cards for payment or will file directly with
your insurance company.
II. DIALOGUE
Dentist: My assistant said you have a toothache. How long have you had it?
You: For about twenty-four hours. I’ve had trouble with this tooth before.
My dentist at home said that it would have to be removed eventually.
Dentist: Let me take a closer look. Hmmm ... I concur with your dentist. The tooth
has to come out. Looks like you also need to brush and floss more often.
You: Will it hurt?
Dentist: Not too much. I’ll give you some Novocain to make the tooth numb.
You: Oh, I hate to go to the dentist! When will you remove it?
Dentist: It should come out right now.
You: All right. Go ahead. What a way to end my stay in the U.S.!
Dentist: When are you leaving?
You: I have to see an attorney in the morning. My flight home is later – around
6 p.m.
