Hello, I'm a dentist. I want to know if these sentences are correct.
- You've got a caries
- Please sit down
- You need a restoration in the tooth with caries.
- you need a curettage because you have periodontitis.
Usually we say 'cavity' rather than 'caries' - this is easier for the patient to understand. Similarly, dentists usually say a filling rather than 'a restoration'.
I would suggest the following:
- You've got a cavity.
- Please sit down.
- You need a filling in the tooth with the cavity.
- You need a curettage because you have periodontitis.
'Attend something' means to participate in it. For example, you can attend a conference or attend a meeting.
'Attend to something' means to pay attention to it and deal with it in some way. For example, you can attend to a problem or attend to a person's needs. It seems to me that in your context this is the meaning you need so '...should be attended to' would be the correct phrasing.
Yes, of course, i have been to the doctor's many times but fortunately i ve ever been kept once during a examination which has taken hardly an hour. That was only the once I have been slept because they had to put in a long camera in my stomach. Side of that episode, i ve never been that sick. I usually went to the dentist's when i was a kid and i must remove my milk teeth after that my all dentition has been healthy. May we stay healthy longer and longer.
Going to the dentist makes me a little afraid because the sound between the dentist's equipment and my teeth is annoying and hurts a little bit.
On the other hand, going to the doctor is not the same, except for the time you wait until the doctor attends to you.
I'm studying to be a doctor, and I use needles and give injections in volunteering and health campaigns.
Also, when I'm sick, I use tablets and medicines to recover the fastest way possible.
Shout out for your doctor career. I have myself loved to be one but fortunately i ve been carried in another area. I think i might have killed several people if had been one. LMAO. Anyway, i agree with you about the lonnnng wait before the consultation.
Hi howtosay_,
Yes, that's perfectly natural. You could also say: How is your injury? (if it's an injury) or How is your leg problem?

Luckily I don't go to the doctor often. When I'm sick I take medicines and I rest a bit.

- The patient must be attended constantly.
Thank you.
