A: 媽媽，我要回家，我不要拔牙。
māma, wǒ yào huíjiā, wǒ bùyào báyá.
Mommy, I want to go home. I don't want to have my tooth pulled.
B: 哎，章勇媽媽，你也帶孩子來看牙啊！
āi, Zhāng Yǒng māma, nǐ yě dài háizi lái kàn yá a!
Hey, Zhang Yong's mother. You brought your kid here to have her teeth checked too!
C: 何豔媽媽，你們也在啊！你看我家小勇，怎麼也不肯來。我是硬把他拉來的。

He Yan's mom, you're here too! Look at my little Yong. Nothing could get him to come. I had to drag him over here.
B: 小孩最怕看牙醫了，你看，一個個都是苦瓜臉。
xiǎohái zuì pà kàn yáyī le, nǐ kàn, yī gègè dōu shì kǔguāliǎn.
Kids are afraid of seeing the dentist more than anything. Look, they all have such sour expression on their faces.

Well, what can ya do? Who made kids like eating candy so much anyway. Yanyan is here to have a tooth pulled as well?

No, I brought her here to have her teeth straightened. Look at her teeth, they're going in all directions. They look terrible.
C: 肯定是換牙的時候，原來的沒掉，新的就長出來了。
kěndìng shì huànyá de shíhou, yuánlái de méi diào, xīn de jiù zhǎng chūlái le.
It had to be from when her permanent teeth came in. The old ones hadn't fallen out, and the new ones just grew in.

yīshēng, wǒ xiǎng bāng háizi jiǎozhèng yáchǐ.
Doctor, I want to have my kid's teeth adjusted.
D: 哦。我先幫她檢查一下。小朋友，過來躺下。把嘴巴張開。這幾顆牙長得特別歪。
ò. wǒ xiān bāng tā jiǎnchá yīxià. xiǎopéngyou, guòlai tǎngxià. bǎ zuǐba zhāngkāi. zhè jǐ kē yá zhǎng de tèbié wāi.
OK. I'll examine her first. Hey there, come over here, lay down, and open up your mouth. These teeth have grown particularly crooked.

OK, then let me tell you about the things you'll have to pay attention to.
B: 哎，好！
āi, hǎo!
Ah, OK!
D: 矯正牙齒一般需要兩到三年的時間。頭兩年要戴矯正器，剛開始每週都要來醫院調節一下，以後是每個月檢查一次。
jiǎozhèng yáchǐ yībān xūyào liǎng dào sān nián de shíjiān. tóu liǎng nián yào dài jiǎozhèngqì, gāng kāishǐ měi zhōu dōu yào lái yīyuàn tiáojié yīxià, yǐhòu shì měi ge yuè jiǎnchá yīcì.
Teeth adjustment usually needs about 2 to 3 years. For the first two years, she'll have to wear a straightening device. At first, she'll have to come to the hospital every week to have it adjusted, and in the future she'll have to come once a month to be examined.
B: 每個月都要來？
měi ge yuè dōu yào lái?
We have to come every month?
D: 是的。所以要想清楚。不要到時候因為沒時間影響了治療效果。這可是關係到孩子一輩子的。

That's right. So, you have to really think about it. If you do it, don't let you're lack of time influence the effects of the treatment. This could have an affect on the child's entire life.
B: 是是是。肯定按您說的做。
shì shì shì. kěndìng àn nín shuō de zuò.
Yes, yes, yes. Definitely do it according to what you've said.
D: 那這樣吧，你們先去拍片。我們要根據片子來定治療方案。
nà zhèyàng ba, nǐmen xiān qù pāi piān. wǒmen yào gēnjù piānzi lái dìng zhìliáo fāng'àn.
OK, then we'll get to it. First, go have some X-rays taken. We will decide the treatment plan according to the X-rays.
B: 哎，好，謝謝醫生。
āi, hǎo, xièxie yīshēng.
Ah, OK. Thank you, doctor.
