A: Hi, Dr. Nick, I'm glad you were able to see me. My tooth was starting to hurt.
D: Let me see.. you have a bad cavity right near the gum line.
A: Yeah, I can feel it with my tongue. It's been there a while, but I've been putting off seeing you.
D: I can tell. But let's address the elephant in the room. How many years has it been since you saw a dentist?
A: Umm. . I think it's been five years./  D: Well, we are going to get you back on track starting today.
Dr: Before we talk about any treatment, we're going to clean your teeth thoroughly.
A: I think this is going to hurt because my gums are prone to bleeding.
Dr: Well, that's what flossing is for. You really needs to look after your gums, too.
A: I usually floss when I have something stuck between my teeth.
Dr: Believe it or not, gum disease is linked to heart disease and Alzheimer's.
A: Oh, no! I'm definitely going to start flossing every day now.
A: Wow! That cleaning and scraping was pretty painful. And I spit out a bunch of blood.
D: It's to be expected when you miss out on regular dental visits.
A: I promise, from now on I'm going to take charge of my dental health. Thank you for everything, Dr. Nick.
D: You aren't out of the woods yet, Angela. The x-rays showed serious problems that we need to talk about.
A: But, I'm running late for a lunch appointment. Can we do this another day?/  D: I'm sorry, but we need to fix this now.
A: I'm sorry, Dr.Nick. I panicked. I'll stay as you need me to./  D: Anything I do here is for your own good.
A: I understand. I'm just scared of needless and having my teeth drilled.
D: Well, today is not your lucky day then, because you need a root canal
A: Are there any other options? Maybe just a filling instead?
D: I'm sorry Angela, but a root canal is the best option. As a last resort, I'll have to extract the tooth.
