Examination III

�Miss Ridgeway : Good afternoon , Dr Towers . I'm here for a dental check-up but I'm worried about my wisdom teeth . I've been getting some pain from the lower right side and my friends told me that it'd be my wisdom tooth .

�Dr Towers : Okay . Before we check on your wisdom teeth , we need to know about your general health . Here's a standard medical questionnaire , please answer all the questions listed and take your time .

( after completion of the questionnaire )

�Dr Towers : I see you're generally fit and healthy . Let me proceed to the oral examination .
( during the examination )

�Dr Towers : The conditions of your teeth and gums appear to be fine , I'd see that the lower right wisdom tooth is erupting and the gums around the tooth looks a bit swollen . However , I'd not see any of the other wisdom teeth . I'd recommend taking a big x - ray film of your jaws to determine the number and positions of your wisdom teeth .

�Miss Ridgeway : Yes , I'll have the x-ray taken but can you tell me whether it's going to hurt .
Dr Towers : No , Miss Ridgeway . Having this type of x-ray taken is usually painless . However , you'll have to keep very still while it's being done .

�Miss Ridgeway :Thank you .
