Words I heard at the dentist - basic dental vocabulary
Personally I don’t like going to the dentist but after visiting the dentist I realised how many specialised words there are. This might be confusing for some English learners so in this video I have attempted to explain some of the basic words you might hear when you visit the dentist.
WARNING I am not a dentist so my explanation might not be 100% clear or accurate. Here is the dictionary definition of the words. Enjoy!

gums - the soft tissue inside the oral cavity in which teeth are fixed

enamel - the hard white outer layer of teeth
jaw - the lower part of the face which includes the bottom teeth
toothache - a pain in or about a tooth.
decay - a bacterial infection which causes demineralization and destruction of the hard tissues of the teeth
