R: Hi. Welcome to "Let's Talk". We're back in Dr. Li's beautiful dental clinic talking about problems and treatment of our teeth. Hi Dr. Li thanks to having us here.
L: Very good.
R: Here I'm in the patient's chair. So how do you start what are the usual problems that you see and you will be treating right here in your clinic?
L: Well if patients come in with pain of course I would take a x-ray and examine them. If their tooth in pain really really painful I can safe the tooth by doing a recanal, which is taken the nerve out, or I can pull the tooth out as instruction. But both procedures you shouldn't feel it. Because I would have to give you injection to numb you up.
R: All right. So you put to shot in and you feel nothing.
L: That's right. That' when you come in with the toothache. But a normal check up then I even don't do that. When I found some small cavities I can fill it with simple fillings. For children if I see potential smaller to become a cavity I can use sealant to seal the tooth so they won't get a cavity.
R: Oh, yes and you do that with my kids. I know you're showing me this all the teeth you put like a covering on so that if they eat sugar it won't get in.
L: And the procedure doesn't hurt at all.
R: No not at all. I never had any pain when I came. And I'm sure I had some fillings nothing too bad I hope I don't have big problems in the future.
L: That's why it very important to come back and visit your dentist regularly.
R: Right, every six-month. And the cleaning are nice because your mouth taste very clean afterwards feels good.
L: And the check up appointment we do clean your teeth and make sure that everything is ok.
R: So those are the common problems, small holes called cavities that you fill, and children's special issues like protecting their teeth as they grow. And what other problems would you say. Are there any special comments to China? I know that people chew a lot of seeds. Do you see problems there?
L: Yes if they chew the seeds for long period of time they tend to have a notch on their inside jaw edge. Those are very difficult to repair.
R: You could repair them.
L: We could repair. If they got larger broken off notch we can even prepare a crown, a covering, a cap, that cover the whole tooth.
R: And that's also should not be painful.
L: No, not at all.
R: As long as you use the pain killer medicine. So now let's see in the chair now, these are all your tools right, and the special light, and here is a little sink. I feel like I shouldn't touch anything. Would you say that there is new equipment like these all over China now?
L: Yes there are many clinics in Beijing and through out China had equipment as good as we have here.
R: And it is similar to California.
L: That's right.
R: And are there training clinics for dentists here in China to learn new techniques.
L: Yes, and I welcome dentists to visit my dental clinic here. We have many visitors every day.
R: Oh, really? So you have dentists to come to see you. Oh, that's terrific. Because I know that it's improving all the time in China. So what are some of the new things in China? This is new, isn't this?
L: Yes.
R: And you've been doing my...you and your associate doctor Penny have been helping my daughter straighten her teeth.
L: We can treat children who have cock teeth and make them strait. But this process takes long time. Takes about two years.
R: But it's wonderful. When you take all that off the teeth are straight. And they stay straight. So it's a little painful those during the two years. But a little bit, right?
L: Only a little bit uncomfortable. I won't say painful.
R: Just uncomfortable. And you must be very careful to keep it clean. But it's wonderful to have straight teeth at the end. What about coffee and tea stains. I love to drink coffee and tea.
L: Yes you need to come in and we can move those stain and polish. But the newest thing is bleaching or whitening your teeth. Right now we do put chemical in your teeth that is not harmful to your teeth and make it white and beautiful. We call it bright smile.
R: Bright smile. Oh, it's a great name. So then you have whiter teeth like you have when you're younger before you drunk tea.
L: That's right.
R: That's great. And all these treatments are available here in China too.
L: That's right. And remember it's not painful.
R: Right.
L: And it's comfortable.
R: Oh, that's wonderful because you know the expression, "You never fully addressed without smile."
L: Very good.
R: Well I've learned a lot today visiting the dental clinic. And I going to take good care of my teeth. Thanks you to having us today, I appreciate it Dr. Li. Can you give us some advice to our viewers?
L: You welcome. Take good care of your teeth so your teeth will take good care of you. Brush your teeth everyday and have a good diet cut down the sugar, and visit your dentist regularly.
R: Perfect, thank you.

牙科诊室的故事
|

R：你们好今天我们再次来到李医生的牙科诊所来聊聊常见的牙病及其疗法。您好，李医生非常感谢您再次与我们合作。
L：我很荣幸！
R：现在我就坐在病人躺的椅子上在诊所里，您一般会遇到什么样的病人？您会怎么处理呢？
L：如果病人感到牙疼，我会先做一些诸如X光等的例行检查。如果牙疼得很厉害，我就会进行牙的修补。但这并不那么容易。或者，我就把坏死的牙拔除，不过你完全不必害怕，因为在此之前我会为你注射麻药。
R：我知道，在注射过麻药后你就什么也感觉不到了。
L：对，这就是对一般牙疼的疗法。但是通常的牙科检查
并不包括这些。如果只是发现一些蛀孔，便只需用填料进行修补就行了。对孩子们来说，一经发现有蛀牙的前期症状，我就会进行封补，从而防止其继续恶化。
R：我记得您帮我孩子做过，您还把这个给我看。牙齿好像给盖上了一层东西，当孩子们吃糖的时候，它们就会侵蚀牙齿。
L：这样的封补一点也不疼。
R：对，我知道，我来这儿时从来没感觉到疼。仅仅是加了一些牙料，并不是很疼我希望今后牙齿不要出问题。
L：所以，你应该定期去牙医那儿检查。
R：没错，每半年一次。对口腔清洗非常舒服，之后口感非常清新。
L：对，一般的定期检查包括口腔清洗以及全方面的护理
所以对诸如蛀牙（蛀孔）等。
R：因此对最常见的牙病你们就会进行针对性的修补，而对于孩子们，你们就会进行预防和保护。另外，在中国
有没有什么特殊的牙病？因为据我所知中国人喜爱嗑瓜子
这样会导致什么问题吗？
L：是的，长时间地嗑瓜子，牙齿的内侧会形成小的缝隙。这些非常难以修复。
R：但是你们可以做到。
L：是的，如果这样的缝隙慢慢变大，而且最后彻底裂开了，我们还可以进行覆盖疗法。
R：这也不会疼吧。
L：不会，一点都不疼。
R：只要你用上一些止疼药。对，现在我坐在椅子上，周围都是您常用的工具。对，有一盏特殊的灯，这边还有一个水槽。我觉得什么都不能乱碰。中国的诊所里也有类似的器械吗？
L：是的，在北京和中国的许多地方。那儿的诊所同样拥有这些器械。
R：使用的方法也类似，是吗？
L：没错。
R：有没有相应的培训诊所供中国的牙医来学习新的技术呢？
L：有啊，我很欢迎牙科大夫来我这儿参观。事实上我们每天都有许多来访者。
R：真的吗？每天都有牙医来您这儿？是的，这样很好。在中国技术每天都在进步。有没有什么东西是中国没有的？哦，这个大概中国以前没有。
L：是的。
R：您曾和您的助理医师为我的女儿做过牙齿的矫正。
L：对，我们帮孩子们矫正牙形。但是这个过程一般会很长，大概两年左右吧。
R：哦，要两年。但这样很好。当你把矫牙器去掉后，牙齿就变得整齐了，而且永远不会再变形。不过在两年中会有一点儿疼。
L：是的，其实并不"疼"，只是有点"不舒服"而已。
R：哦，不舒服。你必须保持牙齿的清洁，是的。但是当牙齿变得整整齐齐之后，你的感觉会非常棒。如果牙齿上有喝茶或喝咖啡后留下的牙垢该怎么办呢？我非常喜欢喝咖啡和茶。
L：你就需要来我们这儿，我们会帮你进行清洗打磨。现在最新的方法是对牙齿进行漂白。我们现在使用化学药剂
在没有任何危害的情况下就可以还你一副洁白的牙齿非常漂亮。我们称之为“灿烂的微笑“。
R：哦，很棒的名字！这样，你的牙齿就能回到你开始喝茶之前的样子了。
L：对！
R：这非常好。在中国也有这样的服务吗？
L：有啊，而且这一点也不疼。
R：对，反倒非常舒服。有一句谚语就是这么说的
“没有微笑穿得再好都是白搭。“
L：对极了。
R：今天我学到了许多东西，以后我会好好地照料我的牙齿。谢谢您能让我们来这儿参观。您能给我们的观众提些建议吗？
L：当然。好好照顾你的牙齿，它们肯定也会善待你的。坚持每天刷牙，注意合理的饮食，少吃含糖的食物，还有就是去牙科诊所做定期的检查。
R：好极了，非常感谢！
