How do you feel about going to the dentist? Are you panicking before entering the exam room, or are you quite relaxed? True, it’s not an especially fun event, but there’s no need to be afraid. Anaesthesia is widely used, so the treatment is not as painful as it was in the past! Follow the conversation between a dentist and her patient.

Jak się czujesz, kiedy idziesz do dentysty? Czy panikujesz przed wejściem do gabinetu, czy jesteś całkiem zrelaksowany/zrelaksowana? Chociaż nie zawsze jest to szczególnie przyjemne wydarzenie, nie ma się czego bać. Obecnie powszechnie stosuje się znieczulenie podczas zabiegów, więc nie są one tak bolesne jak kiedyś! Prześledź rozmowę między dentystką a jej pacjentem.
