One morning I felt a very strong toothache. It was so strong that I couldn't go to school. Mom called the hospital. She arranged my visit to a dentist. I have never been to a dentist before and that's why I was very afraid. I went to the hospital and couldn't enter the doctor's office. But then I realized that I needed to treat my tooth. In the office there were two large armchairs and two doctors. I was given an injection and in a few minutes I felt no pain. The doctor treated my tooth, but I didn't feel any pain. The next day I didn't have a toothache, so I went to school.
Однажды утром я почувствовал очень сильную зубную боль. Зуб болел так сильно, что я не смог пойти в школу. Мама позвонила в больницу. Она договорилась о моём визите к дантисту. Я никогда не был у зубного врача раньше и очень боялся. Я пришел в больницу и долго не решался войти в кабинет врача. Но потом понял, что мне необходимо вылечить зуб. В кабинете стояло два больших кресла и было два врача. Мне поставили укол и через несколько минут я уже не чувствовал боли. Доктор долго лечил меня, но мне не было больно. На следующий день я не чувствовал зубной боли и пошел в школу.
