Script for “Rinse your mouth” (Dental track)
We made an appointment with Poh Hong’s dentist the day after tomorrow for a scaling session. I was looking at some YouTube videos where parents uploaded videos of their child’s dental visit and picking out the common words and phrases the dentist would say to a child.
Let’s pray that the one shot recording will work and that the dentist would follow our script:
