Crutches are pieces of wood with padded handles that you use to help you walk. You tuck the ends of the crutches under your arms.
People usually use crutches when they have a broken leg or sprained ankle. If you can't walk at all, you will need a wheelchair.
Someone is deaf if they cannot hear things properly, or they cannot hear things at all. People who are only partially deaf can use a hearing aid to help them hear things properly again.
A dentist is someone who looks after other people's teeth. They clean your teeth properly, and fix up holes in people's teeth. They can also make your teeth look better by straightening or whitening them. Sometimes going to see the dentist can be painful or scarey, so if you don't want a dentist trip to be bad, you should look after your teeth and brush them every day.
You, or a part of your body, is diseased if it is not working properly for some reason. Disease can be caused by a contagious illness, poison, genetic condition or other imbalances.
A doctor is someone who makes sick or injured people better. Their main role is to find out what is wrong with someone and prescribe treatment, while a nurse's role is mainly to look after sick or injured people as they get better. Some doctors perform surgery, cutting people open to fix what is wrong inside, to help people get better.
