6
You ready?
7
So today, I'm going to talk about dentist appointments.
8
Personally, I don't like this topic at all because I don't like going to the dentist.
9
But it's a pretty important topic,
10
so why don't we talk about it?
11
In the US, going to the dentist is a normal part of people's lives.
12
Many people go to the dentist once,
13
twice, or three times a year for routine checkups.
14
During a normal checkup, the dentist cleans your teeth and checks to see if you have any major problems.
15
I hate the way that dentists clean teeth,
16
because for me, it feels really uncomfortable.
17
First, they use a tool to scrape off all the plaque.
18
Plaque is the stuff that forms on your teeth from eating things such as sugar.
19
It's not good to have a lot of plaque,
20
so the dentist removes it during your checkup.
21
I think it's uncomfortable when they do this,
22
but I know it's necessary.
23
Sometimes the dentist needs to remove plaque from around your gums.
24
Your gums are the pink parts above and below your teeth.
25
If your gums are unhealthy,
26
they can bleed when the dentist cleans your mouth.
27
When I was younger, my gums would always bleed during my dentist appointments.
28
So, after the dentist removes your plaque,
29
they usually brush and floss your teeth.
30
Then, they check for cavities.
31
If you don't take good care of your teeth,
32
It's easy to develop cavities.
33
Children often get a lot of cavities because they eat a lot of sugar and they don't clean their teeth well.
34
I had three cavities when I was younger,
35
but now I take better care of my teeth.
36
I hope I don't get any more cavities in the future.
37
Nowadays, I usually brush my teeth twice a day,
38
and I floss twice a day, too.
39
In the US, it's normal for people to brush their teeth in the morning and at night,
40
but many people don't floss.
41
I rarely flossed when I was younger,
42
and it was the same for most of my friends.
43
But now it feels really weird if I don't floss because I've developed the habit.
44
How about you?
45
How often do you brush and floss your teeth?
46
So another reason why people go to the dentist or orthodontist is for braces.
47
I got braces when I was 21 and I had them until I was 23.
48
I really hated having braces.
49
They looked horrible and they made it really hard to clean my teeth.
50
I remember how much I hated flossing when I had braces.
51
I'm glad I don't have them anymore.
52
Lastly, let's talk about the price of going to the dentist or orthodontist.
53
In the US, many people have dental insurance,
54
which covers most of the cost.
55
But if you don't have insurance,
56
it can be really expensive.
57
In other countries, it's much cheaper.
58
For example, in Mexico, it's cheap and easy to see a dentist or get braces.
59
You probably don't need insurance because the price usually isn't that high.
60
But of course, some procedures are more expensive than others,
61
and it could be a lot of money if you need a lot of work done on your mouth.
62
But overall, dental care is much more expensive in the US.
63
Alright that's all for today.
64
Leave a comment and tell me if you go to the dentist regularly.

I'll see you next time.
68
Thank you.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
