    connected with teeth.

    示範例句 · Example

    Good dental care starts with brushing your teeth every morning and night.

    逐字好的牙齒的護理開始於刷你的牙齒每個早上和晚上。

    「dental」是「跟牙齒有關」的形容詞，幾乎總是放在名詞前面：dental care（牙齒保健）、dental appointment（看牙醫的預約）、dental floss（牙線）。中文常說「牙齒的」或「牙科的」——講保養、檢查多用「牙齒的」；講診所、治療多用「牙科的」。dentist 是「牙醫」這個人；dental 是「牙齒／牙科的」這個形容詞，兩者容易一起記。

core核心畫面

This is the adjective English reaches for whenever teeth are the topic in a professional setting — the clinic, the insurance form, the health . Ordinary conversation just says tooth (a tooth problem); dental is what appears once the context turns official.

可以想成：只要話題牽涉到牙齒，而且場合是專業的——診所、保險單、衛教手冊——英文就會拿出這個形容詞。日常聊天直接說 tooth 就好（a tooth problem）；一旦進入正式或專業的語境，用的就是 dental。所以它幾乎只出現在名詞前面，形成固定的搭配。
