Vocabulario dental

Hola a todos,

Necesito aprender el vocabulario dental. Por favor ayuda con correcciones.

***
Conversación típica en oficina dental por adultos (y niños):

- Abre la boca por favor (Abres)
- Cierra la boca por favor (Cierras)
- ¿Le duele? (¿Te dueles?)
- ¿Duele aqui? (Dueles)
- ¿Está bien? (Estás)
- Tiene un enfermedad en las encías porque tiene demasiada placa. (Tienes … tienes)
- Necesita un limpieza dental. (Necesitas)
- Ahora, le voy a limpiar su boca. (te voy a limpiar tu)
- ¿Necesita escupir? (Necesitas)
- Voy a dar anestesia.
- Traga por favor. (Tragas)

¿Cómo se dice (my best guess):

-Your enamel is very thin, that's why it's sensitive. (Su esmalte es muy delgado ..?.. los dientes son sensibles)
-We're almost done. (Está casi ya terminado)
-Finished, you did really well. (Terminado, hace muy bien)
-Let me show you how to brush your teeth. (?.. cómo se cepilla los dientes)
-It hurts because of an infection. (Le duele porque tiene un infección)
-Turn your head towards me. (?)
-Rinse with warm salt water twice a day for a week. (Enjuaga con agua salada tibia dos veces al día durante una semana)
-Come back tomorrow if there is no improvement. (Vuelve mañana si no hay mejor)


No estoy seguro con estos y le agradecería ayuda with the vocab.

¡Muchas gracias!

Imperative! I didn't even think of that. *facepalm* It's so easy in English, but I remember it from French. I'll add it to the study list. Thank you! Still working on the pronouns, but wanted to get these ready for study.

For the third one, how would you say 'does it hurt?' rather than 'where does it hurt'?

Thanks so much for your help!

You're welcome!

Leave off 'where'. I'm used to asking 'where' it hurts, though.

Correct if the doctor is asking where it hurts. How about the doctor tapping a tooth and asking "Does it hurt you?"

I'll work on Rusty's fine suggestions: I grouped his first corrections and I added more choices for translations:

- Cierre/cierra la boca, por favor.
- ¿Le/te duele? / ¿Dónde le/te duele? / ¿Le/te duele aquí?
- ¿Está/estás bien?
- Tiene/tienes una enfermedad de las encías porque tiene/tienes demasiada placa / demasiado sarro.
- Necesita/necesitas una limpieza (dental).
- Ahora, le/te voy a limpiar la boca. / Voy a limpiar tu boca.
- ¿Necesita/necesitas escupir?
- Voy a ponerle/ponerte (la) anestesia.
- Trague/traga, por favor.


¿Cómo se dice?:

-Your enamel is very thin, that's why it's sensitive. -> Su/tu esmalte está muy delgado; por eso (su/tu/el diente) es (muy) sensible.
-We're almost done. -> Ya casi terminamos.
-Finished, you did really well. -> (Ya) terminamos. Te portaste muy bien. ("Lo hiciste bien", for a Mexican, sounds as if the patient had done the job, doesn't really match the situation. "Portarse bien" more or less gives the idea of having endured the process.)
-Let me show you how to brush your teeth. -> Déjeme/permítame/déjame/permíteme mostrarle/mostrarte cómo cepillarse/cepillarte los dientes.
-It hurts because of an infection. -> Le/te duele porque tiene/tienes una infección / porque está infectado. (La muela está infectada / el diente está infectado.)
-Rinse with warm salt water twice a day for a week. -> Enjuáguese/enjuágate con agua tibia con sal dos veces al día durante una semana.
-Come back tomorrow if there is no improvement. -> Regrese/regresa mañana si no mejora/mejoras / si no siente/sientes mejoría.

Only if it's assumed that patient's enamel has always been too thin and it was not the result of an illness, bad hygiene, bad habits, etc.
