right thing to do you ought to stay here

million pounds I'd spend it I would

spend it I'd spend it what would you do

if someone gave you a million pounds or

million dollars I'd contribute one tenth

to my church had to do that and the rest

I'd used to pay off my bills and spread

around my family I would buy a very nice

house somewhere hot and have a very

large studio and a boat I would spend

some of it right away

I would give some of my children for

their future oh I'd pay for my waiting I

go shopping and buy clothes huh I'd

retire

of them what it's true I'm frightened of

going to the doctor's I understand I'm

the same oh come on both of you don't be

so silly listen it's all right

I feel much better though I think I

should go back to Germany and have a

rest for a couple of days that I'd be

fine really

you for all your help both of you you've

been very kind

don't mention it I hope you feel better

soon

thank you I'll call you next week about

advertising the new computer good okay

I'll show you out

thank you

Carl said he didn't want to go to the

doctors and he said it in two different

ways I'm afraid of doctors afraid I'm

frightened of going to the doctors

frightened some people are afraid of

going to the doctors and a lot of people

are very frightened of going to the

dentist's mubarak's Angie is a dentist

in England are people frightened of

going to see him people are even in this

day and age frightened of going to the

dentist and it is generally because

they've had a bad experience in the past

six

if a patient turned up who was very

frightened you would have to go through

the various stages first of all I would

try doing treatment with just a local

anaesthetic but because people are

frightened of needles I would ask them

to take a tranquilizer by mouth which in

most cases makes them feel a little

better but you do also get patients who

are beyond that and for them they would

have to have a tranquilizer administered

in their vein and you unfortunately also

get the final category of patient who

will need to be actually be put out

completely by means of a general

anaesthetic if you're frightened of

going to the dentists you should look

after your teeth what advice does mr.

Sam G give about that the advice varies

according to age group the advice that I

would give to young children is that

they should not eat too many sweets and

they should regularly clean their teeth

by brushing especially last thing at

night you eat a lot of sweets that's

good so not not so many no that's ever

so important you should eat as few as

possible because it's sweets that give

you holes in your teeth alrighty

and how about brushing how often do you

brush your teeth mornings and sometimes

in the evenings excellent brushing in

the evening is ever so important you

should brush every evening before

bedtime and remember not to eat anything

straight after you've brushed your teeth

all right for adults the main advice is

on the prevention of gum disease in

addition to the prevention of decay

and it is for that reason that adults

should clean carefully in between their

teeth again especially at night remember

about how you ought to floss to prevent

gum disease generally speaking no sign

of decay so you're obviously being

careful about sugars and as far as those

wisdom teeth are concerned make sure you

get your brush right to the back there

keep that gum nice and tidy mubaric Sam

gee a very friendly dentist when was the

last time you went to the dentists David

I never go to the dentists

my teeth are perfect hmm oh I think you

ought to see a dentist no my teeth are

fine

goodbye goodbye
