Hello Miss Stewart! How are you doing? Is anything wrong with you?
Not so good, doctor. I'm having some problems with my teeth and a bad toothache as well.
Well, nothing unusual for such a sweet tooth like you. OK. Let me check.
Is it so bad, doctor?
You've got another set of cavities and a chipped tooth. Besides, you have cut your third molars or so called wisdom teeth.
Yes, I got my tooth chipped last night when eating almonds. As for the cavities… How come? I've been taking proper care of my teeth.
That's because the gaps between your teeth make you prone to frequent cavities. Remember that I always ask you to visit the dentist once every 6 months to maintain your oral hygiene. And you should brush your teeth at least twice a day.
Are the cavities really awful?
well. I'll fix them up with composite filling. And I am sure you are pretty tired of this tartar on your teeth too. I suggest you a special treatment to remove it. I can fix that with scaling and polishing.
I don't mind. How much will it cost?
The whole treatment takes 3 sittings, 45 minutes each. Each sitting will cost you 50 dollars.
Is the procedure painful?
Not at all. It's absolutely painless.
That's great! Can I make an appointment for the first sitting then?
sure. You can do it at the reception later. well. Let me put a crown over your chipped tooth.
Will it be painful?
It could be a bit painful. We can use anaesthesia to numb your mouth if you want.
That's OK. I hope I can bear a little pain.
OK then. Let's get started.

Warmly and joyfully welcome everyone! We continue to learn the second part of a series of multimedia (audio + text) conversational American lessons. Our constant companion, Martin Lerner, a correspondent for the Voice of America, accompanies us in every class, helping us master the course “So they say in America” or “English USA”. Together with Martin, today we will visit the dentist and learn how to describe long, ongoing actions in English that take place in the present tense.
Present continuous tense in English. At the dentist.In the course of today's lesson, we will study those phrases and words that can be used to describe actions in the present in English, and we will also learn expressions for communication in the office of a goiter. In addition, you will learn a table with phrases, verbs, adjectives, nouns and other words on the topic, as well as hear all these expressions in English. And at the end of the lesson, you will receive a brief grammar reference, which you also need to master.
Watch and listen also to a similar audio lesson from another conversation course At the doctor
But first, read the dialogue, and then listen to the audio recording of the lesson to practice the correct American pronunciation, because that's what they say in America. So, imagine the situation: Martin Lerner felt a sharp toothache. Without hesitation, the journalist, although afraid of dentists, went to see a dentist or a dentist, as US residents say:
DentistI'm looking at your other teeth now. So far I don't see anything wrong. Wait a minute ... - I'm looking at your other teeth now. Until I see something wrong. One minute... (Wait a minute...)
Martin:Now what? What are you doing? Are you drilling? — Now, what? What are you doing? Are you drilling?
DentistNo, no. I'm just checking. I'm cleaning this tooth. It might be bad. - No no. I'm just checking. I'm brushing this tooth. He could be bad
Martin: Bad? What are you saying? - Bad? What are you talking about?
DentistI'm saying it doesn't look good. This tooth might need some work. I say he doesn't look good. This tooth may need some work.
Personally, I have never seen such a person who would go to an appointment with a dentist, absolutely calm? Are you afraid of dentists?
