Interview With Dentists

As a part of an activity given in I Explore - Book 4 written by Mrinalini Pradhan, I drew a labelled diagram of 'The Structure Of A Tooth'. I also interviewed two dentists related to gathering more knowledge about dentistry. Dentistry is a Science concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases of the teeth, gums, and related structures of the mouth and including the repair and replacement of defective teeth. 

I asked one question to two of the dentists that I met last week. I asked them with what problems people come to the dentist and what treatment procedures the dentist provide. The two dentists gave different kinds of answers.

A Scene From "ALL BECAUSE OF A CUP OF COFFEE"

"Which way do we go now? I asked cheerfully. 
Where is this famouse VALLEY OF THE CHEESETTES?"

Thea waved her paw in one direction. "Oh, it's right around here," she answered. I unfolded a map. That's when I noticed something. The whole island was shaped like a giant butterfly! How very odd, I thought.

I looked around me. There was green everywhere. Green Trees, green bushes, green grass. This place was a gardener's dream. I stepped forward into the high grass.
