M: Hi, Dr. Hyde.
W: So, what seems to be the problems today?
M: Well, I just came in for a check up and a dental cleaning.
W: Hum. Open up. Let’s take a look…
M: Okay. Uh…
W: Hum. Wow! I’ve never seen one like this before. Let me try this.
M: Ouhhhh…
W: Well, besides a lot of plaque buildup, there is a major cavity in one of your wisdom teeth. Hasn’t this given you any trouble?
M: Well, the tooth has been bothering me, and it sometimes hurts when I drink something cold. Does it look that bad?
W: Well, we’re going to remove the decay, and then we’ll either put a filling in, or if the decay is extensive, we can’t repair it, we might have to put a crown on your tooth. Or as a last resort, we may have to extract the tooth.
M: Uh, well, that sounds painful!
W: Don’t worry. I’ve done this once before. Hah, just relax.
M: Wait! Aren’t you supposed to give me something to dull the pain?
W: I almost forgot. We can either use a local anesthetic or nitrous oxide laughing gas to minimize the discomfort you might feel. Or you can just grin and bear it.
M: No, no, no. Put me under! I can’t stand pain, and I’d rather not be aware of what’s going on. And, if I need a filling, can I get one that looks like my other teeth?
W: If we can save the tooth with a filling, I recommend a high-strength silver alloy filling instead of a porcelain one. It’ll probably last longer.
M: Okay, well, whatever. Let’s get it over with.
W: Okay, pleasant dreams.
