A: My tooth hurts again. Can you go buy me some painkillers?

我的牙又开始疼了,帮我去买点止疼药吧。

(wǒ de yá yòu kāishǐ ténɡ le, bānɡwǒ qù mǎidiǎn zhǐténɡyào bā.)

B: Constantly taking painkillers is no solution. I suggest you go see a dentist.

一直吃止疼药也不是办法啊,我建议你去看看牙医。

A: I've already made an appointment to see the dentist this weekend. This is all because I eat too many sweet foods.

我已经约了牙医周末去看牙,都怪我平时吃甜食吃太多了。

(wǒ yǐjīnɡ yuēle yáyī zhōumò qù kànyá, dōuɡuàiwǒ pínɡshí chī tiánshí chī tàiduō le.)

B: I eat a lot of sweets too, but each time I brush my teeth when I'm done. You definitely got a cavity becuase you haven't been carefully brushing your teeth.

我吃甜食也不少啊,我每次吃完甜食都会去刷牙,你一定是因为没有仔细刷牙才得了蛀牙。

(wǒ chī tiánshí yě bùshǎo ā, wǒ měicì chīwán tiánshí dōuhuì qù shuāyá, nǐ yīdìnɡ shì yīnwéi méiyǒu zǐxì shuāyá cái déle zhùyá.)
