Good morning. How are you today?
I'm okay. My tooth has been hurting a lot.
When did the tooth pain start?
About two days ago.
Did anything happen that might have caused it? Maybe an accident?
I don't think so. It just got worse every day.
Well, let's take a look and see what's wrong. Open your mouth, please.
Okay. Ahhh.
It looks like you might have a cavity, but nothing major.
I hope it's only a small cavity. It hurts a lot.
We will have to take some X-rays to make sure. Follow my assistant please.
Alright.
