At the dentist
The dentist says: sit back, open wide, rinse, spit, then bite on this. That is a lot at once.
They say: "Sit back, open wide, rinse, spit, and then bite on this."
What could you ask?
Three things you could say. None of them is the one right answer; each note says why it fits the moment, or why it may not.
What do I do first?
A strong fit
One question, one step. The dentist will say the rest one at a time.
Can you tell me one thing at a time?
Also works here
This asks them to slow down. It works; dentists are used to it.
Do all of them at once and get it mixed up.
Worth a second look
You can. Rinsing and biting at the same time does not work.
What people here usually expect
- Dentists are used to saying one step at a time. Just ask.
- Asking "what first?" is normal for kids and grown-ups.
- It is fine to ask them to slow down.
