牙医这个词,人们一想起来都会觉得有些许的疼痛。因为每次去牙医那里,没有不疼的。在加拿大,如果没有医疗保险的话,看一次牙医也很贵的哦。


Maura: So, today we’re gonna talk about a subject that a lot of people might not like.


 


Harp 1: That’s true. We’re gonna talk about the dentist.


 


Maura: Yes, the dentist. A lot of people hate going to the dentist.


 


Harp: Yeah. Because often, the dentist causes pain.


 


Maura: Yes. And it’s not a really pleasant experience to sit there with your mouth open for a really long time.


 


Harp: Exactly. So in this episode 2, we’re gonna start with talking about regular checkups and maintaining 3 wonderful, beautiful teeth.


 


Maura: And how it’s done in Canada. Then we’re going to give you some expressions that have to do with teeth.


 


Harp: Exactly. And then we’re gonna talk about some childhood memories and experiences with the dentist.


 


Maura: Mmhmm. I think that’s when it’s the most scary—when you’re a kid.


 


Harp: Definitely 4.


 


Maura: OK. So first let’s start by talking about going to the dentist and how people do it and what happens there, in Canada.


 


Harp: Maura, how often do you go to the dentist?


 


Maura: I was hoping you weren’t gonna ask, Harp. When I was younger, I used to go often. But I don’t have insurance, and so I don’t go very often.


 


Harp: When was the last time you went to the dentist, Maura?


 


Maura: The last time I went to the dentist, I think, was about a year and a half ago.


 


Harp: OK. Not too bad then.


 


Maura: No, it’s not so bad. But I think there was a period where I didn’t go for about 5 years.


 


Harp: Yeah, because if you don’t have insurance, it’s very expensive to go to the dentist in Canada.


 


Maura: Yeah. It can be pretty expensive. That is to say, if you have just a little checkup and you’re teeth are fine, it’s not so bad, but if you have a cavity 5 or any problem at all, then the cost goes up significantly 6.


 


Harp: Yeah. I remember being a kid and I would go twice a year for sure. But as soon as I got older, I didn’t go all the time. Especially when I didn’t have insurance.
