Visiting the Dentist
Mrs. Moore: Thank you for taking me at the last minute, Doctor.
Dr. Kane: It’ s all right. The last patient left just a moment ago. ________
staying late when a regular patient has an emergency.
Mrs. Moore: Where’s Miss Perkins? I didn’t see her when I came in.
Dr. Kane: Not only don’t we have a receptionist today, but even my
dental assistant has gone home. We’re the only ones left,
Mrs. Moore. Now, why don’t you ________ ____ and tell
me what the problem is.
Mrs. Moore:
Dr. Kane: Let me take a look at it. Open you mouth wide, please. On
Mrs. Moore:
Dr. Kane: But, Mrs. Moore, I haven’t even touched you yet.
Mrs. Moore:
Dr. Kane: I am sorry you feel this way, but let’s see what the trouble is.
Mrs. Moore: It’s on the left side — just above my eye tooth. The pain
(She sits down in the dentist’s chair.) I have a fi lling which
is loose and is about to ________ . I also have a soreness on
the side of my mouth. I don’t know whether it’s from one of
my teeth or whether it’s a little neuralgia.
which side of your mouth did you say it hurts you?
Ouch! Ouch! (She begins to wave her arms violently in
great pain.)
I know, Doctor (with sigh of relief) — but I ___ so ________
a dentist that I feel pain even before you touch me.
seems to ________ — sometimes it is in one place an
sometimes in another.
168 169
Dr. Kane: Does the tooth itself ever ache or become sore to the touch?
Is it sensitive to heat or cold?
Mrs. Moore: No, only gum above the tooth seems to ________ .
Dr. Kane: The teeth in that area seem to be sound. It may be a little
neuralgia, as you say — but we ________ take an X-ray just
to be sure none of the teeth are abscessed. (He adjusts the
machine, ________ , etc.)
Now, let’s see that loose fi lling. It’s surprising it didn’t fall
out. There’s a good deal of decay around it. There is also
a slight cavity on the other side of the tooth which you
probably didn’t know you had.
Mrs. Moore: Oh, dear, I do hope you won’t have to pull the tooth.
Dr. Kane: I don’t think so. It’s not quite as serious as that. But it may
take considerable drilling. I’ll have to give you an injection
of Novocaine. The decay has gone deeply into the tooth.
From the size of this hole, I suggest that we cap your tooth,
Mrs. Moore. I know it’s expensive, but I don’t think another
fi lling is going to hold. I can fi t you for a permanent cap
today and put a temporary one there. Then when the cap is
ready, you can come back. Shall I ________ ?
Mrs. Moore: I suppose it’s all right. We don’t have any dental in surance,
but if a cap will save my tooth and stop this pain, then
________ . Oh, I hate going to the dentist. Uh, nothing
personal, Dr. Kane.
Dr. Kane: I understand. Many of my patients feel the same way. If I
took all expressions of dread personally, I’d never make it
as a dentist. Now, open wide. Wider, please. (He ________
a few wads of cotton ________ Mrs. Moore’s mouth,
________ a tube to extract Sali va. He probes with a long,
sharp pick, and fi nally, starts drilling.) Now, let’s see what
we have here.
