After a long-overdue checkup, my dentist sat down with me to go over all the work I would need on my mouth. Her total estimate was $9,200. I gasped, “For that kind of money, I could get a tummy tuck and silicone implants.” “But what about your smile?” she asked. “If I had all that done,” I told her, “I guarantee no one would be looking at my teeth.”
我拖了很久才去做牙齒的常規(guī)檢查。做完之后我的牙醫(yī)和我一起坐下來(lái)數(shù)我的嘴里需要做哪些修補(bǔ)。她的估價(jià)是九千兩百美金。我氣呼呼地說(shuō):“花這些錢(qián)都?jí)蜃稣购吐⌒厥中g(shù)了。”她問(wèn)我:“但是你不要好看的微笑了嗎?”我告訴她說(shuō):“如果我把那幾樣都做了,我保證沒(méi)有人會(huì)看我的牙齒。”
