Dialogue 2

Patient: - Good morning, doctor.

Doctor: - Good morning. Sit here, please. What are your complaints?

P.: - I have a terrible toothache. It kept me awake the whole night.

(The doctor begins to examine the patient)

D.: - Open your mouth a bit wider, please. Does the pain get worse when I tap this tooth?

P.: - Oh, yes. The pain is bad.

D.: - Let's make an X-ray of this tooth.

(Some minutes later, after examining the X-ray film)

I'm afraid you've come too late. Nothing can be done. This tooth must be extracted. So I'll send you to our surgeon. In future I advise you to come for regular check-ups.

P.: - Thank you ever so much, doctor. I really appreciate your advice.

 

Dialogue 3

Surgeon: - So, what's the trouble?

Patient: - I have to extract this tooth.

S.: - Make yourself comfortable in the chair. Let me have a look. Open your mouth wider. That's it.

P.: - Will it be painful?

S.: - I'll make you an injection of anesthetics and you will not feel anything. Do you have allergy to any anesthetics?

P.: - No, I don't.

(The surgeon extracts the tooth)

S.: - That's done. Spit out, please. There will be some bleeding after extraction. Do not eat for 2 hours.

P.: - Thank you, doctor. Good-bye.

S.: - Good-bye.
