Wiktionary

Picture the chair that tips back, the light overhead, and the person who looks after your teeth — both fixing what has gone wrong and checking before it does. In English the word also stands in for the place: 'go to the dentist' means the clinic, not the person's home.

可以想成：會往後倒的診療椅、頭頂那盞燈，還有照顧你牙齒的那個人——既處理已經出狀況的，也在還沒出事前檢查。英文有個好用的習慣：這個字也可以代表那個地方，go to the dentist 指的是去牙醫診所，不是去他家。
