Hi, Becca. How are you? Yeah, I'm really good. Thanks, Neil. How about yourself? I'm very well, thank you. Your teeth are looking very bright today. Oh, well, thank you. I recently went to the dentist and I had a very good clean at the dentist. Wow.

Chapter 2: What are the common feelings people have about visiting the dentist?

100.555 - 126.577 Becca

Well, we're talking about the dentist today. Oh, really? We are, yes. Do you like going to the dentist? Does anyone like going to the dentist? It can be a bit scary sometimes. How do you feel about the dentist? Well, I haven't been to the dentist for a long time. When was the last time that you had a check-up at the dentist? A check-up is when you have your teeth looked at by the dentist.

127.184 - 152.513 Neil

Well, I haven't had a checkup for a while, but the dentist said my teeth were okay, there were no problems, and I don't have any toothache, so I don't feel like I need to go. Right, and a toothache is when you feel pain in your teeth. Have you ever had anything done to your teeth?

153.408 - 170.384 Becca

I have, yes. So when I was 13, I had braces put on my teeth. And so braces are kind of like a wire that go across your teeth. And you have them done because they help to straighten your teeth.

My daughter had braces and they came off about a year ago, I think. It's funny when the braces come off because the kids look different. You're used to seeing them with braces. It's also really lovely to see

A straight smile as well with lovely straight white teeth. Lots of people don't really like the dentist because they have to go in for a filling. What's a filling? A filling? I've never had one. But a filling is when a dentist will fill a hole in your teeth with some kind of material. And usually that hole can get bigger over time if you, for example, have too much sugar.

215.896 - 242.322 Neil

So I'm surprised that I've never needed a filling because I love sugar. Have you ever had a filling? I had a filling in a baby tooth. And we sometimes call baby teeth milk teeth as well. Those are the first set of teeth you have that fall out when you're still very young. But since then I have never had a filling.

250.085 - 272.123 Neil

Time now for a recap of the vocabulary that we heard in this episode, starting with check-up. A check-up is when you go to the dentist for the dentist to check the health of your teeth. Yes, and we also had toothache. Now you would go to the dentist when you have a toothache. An ache is a pain, so a toothache is a pain in your teeth.

272.866 - 293.926 Neil

We also heard the word filling. A filling is a piece of material which is put into a hole in your tooth and you get the hole in your tooth if you don't look after your teeth properly. We also had braces and braces are something that you attach to your teeth to help put them in the correct position or straighten them.

Chapter 3: How do braces help in straightening teeth?
