A:  Hey, great to see you again. Please have a seat. So tell me, what seems to be the problem?

B: Thanks, doc. I’ve got a really bad toothache. I can’t eat anything , and look, my face is all swollen. I think it maybe my wisdom tooth.

A: Well, let’s have a look. Open wide. Hmm… this doesn’t look good. Well, it looks like you have a cavity and your crown is loose. We’ll need to put in a filling before it gets any worse, and the crown probably needs to be refitted. I am going to order some X-rays.

B: Is it gonna hurt?

A: No, not at all! Just lay back and relax.
