A: what’s wrong with you? Your face is swollen.
B: My jaw aches. I don’t know why.
A: Let me see. No wonder it hurts! One of your teeth looks decayed. You’d better see a dentist right away.
B: Do you think so? I’ve been putting it off. To tell the honest truth, dentists scare me. I get cold feet when I have to go to one.
A: Don’t be foolish. You’d be better off seeing one. I’ll make an appointment for you.
B: Okay. I might as well go. But find me one who doesn’t hurt!
