口腔临床英语对话 | 给病人补牙

小白老师说：今天的主题是给病人补牙。口腔临床英语对话系列收录了口腔临床医患、医助之间的对话，非常适合临床医务人员、医学生练习口语和听力。当然，也是非常好的医博英语考试长对话素材。

A=Assisant, D=Dentist, P=Patient

P: What is the chance of the pulp dying，Doctor?

医生，牙髓坏死是常见的死吗？

D: You can’t be absolutely sure in these cases，but I’m very confident (sure) that everything will be OK.

你的情况不一定是牙髓坏死， 我有信心会好的。

D: When the pulp of a tooth dies as a result of a deep cavity, the tooth will become infected.

当蛀牙的洞太深，使得牙髓坏死， 牙齿就会受到感染。

P:What happens when a tooth is infected?

牙齿受到感染将会怎样？

D: A toothache or swelling will eventually develop in a tooth that’s infected.

牙齿受感染的结果会引起压痛和牙龈发肿。

D:A tooth might become infected many weeks or months after the decay has been removed.

蛀掉的地方磨掉之后过了几个星期或过了几各月还是会感染的。

P: Would there be any pain? 会不会疼呢？

D: There might not be any pain if the infection is mild or if it finds a way to drain (if a fistula develops).

假如感染轻微的话， 或者找到引流的通道的话， 就不会疼。

D: If the infection doesn’t put pressure on a nerve there won’t be any pain.

假如感染不压迫神经的话就不会感到痛。

P: Sometimes my tooth is sensitive to cold.

我的牙齿有时对冷很敏感。

D: I’ll put a lining under the amalgam to insulate the tooth against sensitivity to cold.

那么， 我在银汞下面垫上东西，使得牙齿决不会对冷有反应。

D: As you know, large fillings are sometimes sensitive to cold because metal is a good conductor of temperature changes.

你是知道的， 填补进去的东西要是很大的话，那么，有时对冷是很敏感的，因为金属是良导体，对于温度的变化很敏感。

D: The tooth may be sensitive to hot and cold foods for a while in spite of the insulation.

尽管有了绝缘物， 吃冷热的东西时可能在短暂时间内会有感觉。

D: Don’t worry; the sensitivity will disappear in a week or two.

不用担心，在一两周内这种反应是会消失的。

D: Close your teeth gently. Does the filling feel high?

把你的牙齿轻轻地咬紧。你有没有觉得补的东西太高？

P: It feels fine. 感觉很合适。

D: Now tap your teeth together and slide your jaw from side to side.

现在把你的牙齿轻轻地咬在一起， 然后把下颌往两侧移动。

D: Good. That’s it. The filling is finished. 好。 就是这样， 补好了。

P: Thank you, Doctor. 谢谢你，医生。

D: Don’t chew on that side of your mouth for at least 8 hours. That will give the filling a chance to harden.

至少在八个小时内不要用你嘴巴的这一边咬东西， 这样补上的东西就会有时间变的结实。

D: I’ll polish it during your next appointment.

在下一次预约治疗时我再给你的牙齿磨一磨。

D: As I said before, there’s a small chance that the pulp will die because of deep decay.

就像我先前所说， 因为蛀牙洞深了， 牙髓还是有坏死的可能。

D: If you get a toothache in that tooth we can still save it by doing a root canal treatment.

假如你这颗还痛的话， 我们还是可以进行根管治疗把它保住。

D: Don’t worry. I don’t think that you’ll have any trouble.

不用担心， 我认为你一定会好的。
