ABSTRACT

Eric Mallow leaned back from his patient’s mouth and put his probe and inspection mirror on the instrument tray. “Well, Mrs. McReavey, everything looks fine. The X-rays show a weakening in the enamel on that back molar, but I don’t think there’s anything we need to do right now. We’ll keep an eye on it. You’re doing a fine job keeping your teeth clean. Keep up the good work and I’ll see you again in six months.”
