Toady I went to a newly opened nearby dentist to treat my minor tooth decay. I was stunned to see its state of the art modern technologies there.

I had my teeth X-rayed, and its camera was as small as an eraser. Soon after taking a shot, a picture of my teeth appeared on a computer screen next to my chair. The dentist uses i view soft wear and explained what kind of treatment must be done.

After he removed my cavity, he showed me the picture again and explained a following treatment. Each treatment was perfectly done having an informed consent. The whole process was easy to understand for me, so I was very secured.

So far, a dental clinique is not a place I'm willing to go, but this time I can't wait until next week to accomplish it. Modern technologies contributed immensely to the development of a dental treatment.
Is it too exaggerated?

Last of all, I have a piece of advice to you.
If you find a tooth decay, even it is a small and tiny one, you should go and see a dentist right away. Consequently, you can save your money and time. The sooner, the better!

Thank you for your correction!

Although I agree, the technology is interesting. I had my teeth X-rayed before too, but I didn't see the picture!

Actually, I go to see a dentist every six months.=3

Okay, I understand know. In that case you'd use 'iView software'. Uppercase letters are important with company names.

I go every six months too :D hehe

And I really wasn't trying to be sarcastic or funny. I just wanted to show you the difference between "dentist('s) office" and "newly opened dental office." So it's not a mistake, my friend, straightforward. Understandably taihen desu!

Tokoro de, we native Americans have always, always said things like: "I've got a doctor's appointment, a dental appointment, an appointment with the doctor, the dentist." Also "I'm going to the doctor's/dentist's today (we drop "office" after "doctor's/dentist's." It's possessive only because the "office" is owned/rented/possessed by the doctor or dentist. See? Weird, but that's Eigo!

I don't know how that came to be, but those are the ways we speak/write when it comes to medical appointments (or hair dresser's, etc., etc.).
Feb 18th 2012 15:32 straightforward
Dear John Boy, You've never be sarcastic and I know that you always encourage us to learn basic, proper and accurate English. Honestly, I count on your help! ^^

I sometimes laugh at my silly mistakes, and I don't care if you giggle or smile when you see my funny sentences. I'm happy if I make you smile. I do believe
the more I make mistakes, the more I'll have confidence!!

It's very funny, isn't it? After I saw your correction, I imagined that dentist tries to remove a cavity. ><

Thank you, Brenda. Do you go and see a dentist regularly??
Feb 18th 2012 15:44 Brenda
No worries! Only once a year, not as regular as you, straightforward san. Dental service in aus is very expensive :(

Should be: "... so I felt very secure." You would feel secureD if the dentist strapped you to the dental chair using four belts.;-) But you can feel secure based upon hearing/seeing someone's words, actions, abilities. Egg-zample*:

"My husband makes good money working hard for a famous company, where he has been for several decades and has always received raises and annual bonuses. I feel very secure."

"The airport parking lot is very secure. It has a large number of patrol people, in-out gates/booths, and video cameras operating 24/7. So our car is very secure."

Also verb -- egg-zample*: "The storm is approaching, Captain, but don't worry, we have SECURED all the loose cargo boxes in the storage space below. They are all tied securely to the ship's walls and floors (well, bulkheads and deck!" (Navy- and commercial cargo ship-speak.) ;-)

* = John Boy being silly [as usual]. Egg-zample = example, which sounds that way when we say it.

もし、時間があれば教えて下さい。
前置詞のto, とforの使い分けでよく迷います。

I have a present FOR you.(〜のために)
I need to talk TO you. 　（〜に）

上記の例文は、分かりやすいのですが、
I have some advice FOR you.の場合は
「〜に」でも「〜ために」どちらでもいいような気がしました。
でもアドバイスはプレゼントと同じように、〜のためを思って言うという
ニュアンスなんでしょうか？

＞　アドバイスはプレゼントと同じように、〜のためを思って言うという

そうですね。ずばり当ていると思います。英語の考え方ではadviceはあげる・与えるものですから、I have some advice for youや I have some books for youのような文は 'for'を使います。

That's great! Going to the dentist is one of the worst nightmares for many people, so it's really important to have a reliable dentist.

Kame Sennin, Thank you for reading my entry. There were many different kind of magazines at the waiting room, and I saw pretty pictures and cute stickers on the wall. They really make efforts to make a dental office comfortable. ^^
