Slice of Life 23: Conversations with the Dental Hygienist


Listen Later

They say you should get your teeth cleaned every six months. So, in today’s lesson let’s review what it’s like to chit chat with the dental hygienist. And don’t feel guilty about it. We all know that we could be better at brushing and flossing our teeth.

Dialogue

A: Tem um pouco de tártaro acumulado aqui. Você passa o fio dental com frequência?
B: Aham, todo dia, sem falta.
A: E qual é a frequência que você troca sua escova de dente?
B: Olha, praticamente quando você me dá uma nova toda vez que eu venho para uma limpeza.
A: Se você quiser, eu até tenho um cupom para uma escova de dente elétrica.
B: Não precisa, não quero nem pensar no dinheirão que vou gastar para escovar o dente.
A: Na verdade elas são mais eficientes, mas eu posso ver que você tem esmalte forte e gengivas saudáveis
B: E um sorriso limpo, branco e brilhante, graças a você!


A: I see a bit of a calcium build up here. Do you still floss regularly?
B: Ah, every day, never miss.
A: And how often do you replace your toothbrush?
B: Pretty sure when you give me a new one every time I come for a teeth cleaning.
A: If you’d like, I do have a coupon for an electric toothbrush.
B: No thanks, I just can’t imagine spending tons of money to brush my teeth.
A: They really are more effective, but I can see that you’ve got good strong enamel and healthy gums.
B: And sparkling clean shiny white teeth, thanks to you.
