Taking Care of Your Teeth
Martha: Oh, I have a toothache!
George: It sounds like you’re in for a visit to the dentist.
Martha: That would be the last resort. I hate going to the dentist. I don’t like needles and the sound of the drill scares me to death. I’m hoping the toothache will just go away.
George: You really should get that checked out. Do you want me to make an appointment for you with my dentist?
Martha: No, thanks. I haven’t seen a dentist in years and I don’t plan to now unless I have no choice.
George: Years?! You haven’t been to a dentist in years? Haven’t you ever heard of preventive care? You’re supposed to get a dental cleaning twice a year.
Martha: I don’t follow doctor and dentist guidelines like that. I brush my teeth every day. That’s good enough.
George: No, it’s not. You should be flossing every day and rinsing 1 your mouth with mouthwash to keep your teeth and gums healthy. If you haven’t been to the dentist in years, I’m not surprised you didn’t know that.
Martha: Stop preaching! I’ll go to the dentist when I need to.
George: Like now.
Martha: Maybe. It doesn’t hurt that much anymore...
George: I never knew you were such a chicken.
Martha: [makes a chicken noise] Bwauk, bwauk...!
