Dentist: Good morning, Ms. Rodriguez. I’m Dr. Johnson. How are you today?
Patient: Hi, Dr. Johnson. I’m doing well, thank you.
Dentist: Great to hear. Let’s take a look at your dental records and discuss any concerns you may have.
Patient: I’ve been experiencing some sensitivity in one of my molars, especially when I eat something cold or sweet.
Dentist: I see. Let’s start by examining that tooth and taking some X-rays to assess the situation.
(The dentist performs the examination and reviews the X-rays)
Dentist: It appears that you have some minor decay in that tooth, which is causing the sensitivity. I recommend a dental filling to address the issue.
Patient: Okay, sounds good. When can we schedule the filling?
Dentist: We can do it today if you have the time. It’s a quick procedure, and we’ll make sure you’re comfortable throughout.
Patient: That works for me. Let’s go ahead with the filling.
Dentist: Excellent. Let’s get started. (begins the procedure)
(After the procedure)
Dentist: All done, Ms. Rodriguez. The filling looks great, and you should notice a decrease in sensitivity.
Patient: Thank you, Dr. Johnson. I appreciate your help.
Dentist: You’re welcome. Remember to schedule your next check-up in six months, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns in the meantime.
