生活英语-看牙医 英文 慢速生活英语系列20:going to the dentist I went to the dentist to get a check-up and cleaning. I showed up at the dentist's office a few minutes before 10. I gave the receptionist my name and told her that I had a 10 a.m. appointment. She said that the doctor was running a little late and that I should take a seat. After about 15 minutes, a dental assistant came out and told me to follow her. She led me to a room and told me to take a seat in the exam chair, and then she put a dental bib on me. The dentist came into the room. Dentist: Hello, how are you today. Here for your six month check-up? Gary: I'm fine, Dr. Meecham. Yes, just a cleaning and check-up today. Dentist: Oh, fine. Let's take a look. She probed my teeth and checked my gums. Dentist: Well, it looks like you have a cavity and your crown is loose. We need to fill that cavity before it gets any worse and the crown needs to be refitted. Make an appointment for next week and I'll take care of them. Gary: Okay, I'll do that, but my crown was just put on last year. Will my dental insurance cover the work? Dentist: Since you had that done here, we'll take care of it. There won't be a charge. And, your insurance should cover the work on the cavity. Now, I'm going to have the hygienist do your cleaning and I'll see you soon for the other work. Gary: Thanks, doctor. The hygenist came into the room and had me rinse with mouthwash. She began her cleaning and finished by polishing my teeth. On my way out, I tried to make an appointment for the following week. Unfortunately, there were no appointments available for two weeks, and the time they had was an inconvenient one, but I said I'd manage. I have to say, going to the dentist can be a pain, in the mouth and in the butt. 中文 慢速生活英语系列20:看牙 我去牙医那里去做个检查并洗洗牙。我是十点前几分钟到的牙医诊所。我告诉接 待人员我的姓名并告之与医生约的是十点。她说医生有点晚了，让我先坐一下。 约15分钟后，牙医的助理出来让我跟着她。她领我进屋并让我坐在检查椅上， 还给我套上一个牙医的围嘴。牙医也走了进来。 女:嘿，今天还好吧，是来做半年的检查吗 男:我挺好，医生，我是来做个检查，并洗洗牙。 女:好，让我写看一下 她检查着我的牙齿还有牙银。 女:看来你的牙有一个洞，而且牙冠也有点松。我们要将洞补上防止恶化，牙冠 也需要加固一下。你约一个下周的号，到时我会来处理。 男:好，我这就去。不过我的牙冠是去年才安上的。我不知道这部分我的保险是 否承担 女:既然牙冠是我们这里做的，这个我们来负责，不需要你承担费用。不过补洞 的部分需要你的保险来承担。现在我让清洗师给你做清洗，其它工作以后我来做。 男:谢谢医生 清洗师走进屋，帮我做清洗。她先洗，然后给我的牙齿抛光。走之前，我尝试约下周的门诊，不幸的是近两周都没有号了。而能约上的时间对我又有点不方便，不过我说我来调整我的时间吧。不得不承认，去看牙医是一件又痛又不方便的事。
