Course Description
This two-hour online program gives interpreters the concepts and vocabulary needed for dental restoration encounters, fillings, crowns, and bridges.
This program will:
- Review the anatomy and physiology of the mouth and dentition
- Describe the process of filling a cavity, making a crown, or fitting a dental bridge
- Identify the questions that dentists will routinely ask during these procedures as well as the aftercare instructions that patients may receive
This course includes exercises and dialogues to internalize key dental terminology in English and interpret this terminology accurately and faithfully. These exercises will be complemented by the use of a bilingual glossary of dental hygiene terminology available in Arabic, Cantonese (Traditional Chinese), Korean, Mandarin (Traditional and Simplified), Russian, Spanish, or Vietnamese.
