Dentist Appointment

Amy had a dentist appointment. It was time for her check-up. The dentist would check if she had any cavities. She arrived at the dentist’s office and signed in. They called her name, and an assistant took X-rays of her teeth. The assistant then told her to wait in the waiting room. After ten minutes, the dentist called her in and told Amy that she had no cavities. They just needed to clean her teeth.

The dentist used special tools, including a special toothbrush. It was different from the one Amy used at home. After the dentist was done, Amy felt good. Her teeth felt shiny and clean. She would come back in six months.
