Bahasa Inggris untuk Dokter Gigi: Sakit Gigi, Gigi Berlubang, Pembersihan, Tambal, dan Cabut Gigi

Artikel ini hanya mengajarkan komunikasi bahasa Inggris di lingkungan medis, bukan diagnosis atau saran perawatan gigi. Jika kamu mengalami pembengkakan parah satu sisi wajah, demam, tidak bisa membuka mulut atau kesulitan menelan, atau gigi tanggal / patah karena trauma, segera hubungi emergency dentist atau pergi ke unit gawat darurat.

Bahasa Inggris di klinik gigi Amerika sebenarnya tidak terlalu rumit, tapi ada beberapa istilah yang harus dikuasai: cleaning (pembersihan / scaling), filling (tambalan), cavity (gigi berlubang), root canal (perawatan saluran akar), extraction (cabut gigi), crown (mahkota gigi). Yang paling penting adalah menjelaskan "gigi yang mana, atas atau bawah, kiri atau kanan, dan jenis sakitnya". Artikel ini mengajarkan caranya.
