Transcription textuelle de la BD A crown
The dentist gives me a crown
When one of my teeth is badly damaged, the dentist gives me a crown.
The crown protects my tooth.
It is like a false tooth that fits over the broken tooth.
The dentist makes my tooth smooth. He uses a tool that vibrates and sprays water into my mouth.
He copies the shape of my tooth.
He puts a kind of modelling clay on a small mould.
The dentist puts the mould into my mouth.
The dentist pushes the mould very hard onto my teeth.
I must wait a few minutes.
The dentist pulls hard to take out mould.
The dentist uses the shape of my tooth to make the crown.
My crown is ready in about two weeks.
Sometimes the dentist gives me a temporary false tooth to protect my broken tooth.
After two weeks, I go back to the dentist to fit the crown.
He removes the temporary false tooth using a small pair of tweezers.
The dentist dries my tooth carefully.
Then he glues the crown to my tooth.
The dentist asks me to bite hard on a piece of cotton wool.
The crown covers my broken tooth completely.
It is just like a real tooth!
