Chapter 1433: Chapter 1433: We Must Find a Solution
“Don’t say that. Director Zhang has brought many patients here for treatnt; he’s practically half an oral surgeon himself. There are many dental issues that don’t need us; he can take a look first and have a rough idea of what’s going on.”
Many people praise her adopted son, causing Teacher Lu to roll her eyes inwardly.
Listening to Boss Zhang’s minor research on stomatology, Xie Wanying realizes that being a cardiologist would be best with so basic stomatology knowledge, so she walks over to observe and learn seriously.
The patient is sitting on the dental chair. Professor Shen puts on his hat, mask, and gloves, turns on the light, holds the patient’s jaw, and adjusts the position to observe the condition inside the patient’s mouth. After a careful examination, Professor Shen makes a preliminary diagnosis: “Teacher Lu, you’ve got two wisdom teeth growing in your oral cavity. It’s not much, and they haven’t been extracted yet. The one on the left is crooked, it’s an impacted tooth, affecting the molar in front. Wisdom teeth need to be pulled out; there’s a cavity, and there’s a cavity on the side of the molar that requires root canal treatnt. Moreover, several teeth in your mouth have developed periodontal pockets, and the molar on the right side is also a bit loose, which indicates periodontitis.”
Teeth are very complicated. Upon hearing this, Teacher Lu feels dizzy, realizing her oral issues have many problems.
Zhang Huayao sighs.
Previously, he was busy with work, and the elderly person was sulking at him, which led to not keeping an eye on the elder’s health condition, resulting in the current situation.
Doctors are really no different from ordinary people; when busy, how can they pay attention to their health? Dental care requires ti. Teacher Lu imrses herself in the institute, reviewing papers for students, sotis getting so busy she loses track of ti.
“I feel more pain on the left side now.” Teacher Lu covers her left cheek with her hand and tells the doctor.
Toothache is very tornting; it can keep people restless day and night, affect sleep, and spoil eating, with the body worsening in such conditions.
Professor Shen swivels his doctor’s chair, discussing with Zhang Huayao: “Director Zhang, do you think Teacher Lu’s condition is not suitable for tooth extraction?”
“Yes,” Zhang Huayao replies, “I wonder if you can first give her local treatnt and consider extraction after the heart intervention surgery is completed. I know her wisdom tooth definitely needs to be extracted. Mainly, she has severe toothache at night these days, so much that she can’t sleep, and painkillers don’t work.”
“Do painkillers have no effect, Teacher Lu?” Professor Shen turns back to ask the patient.
Teacher Lu frowns, “I don’t know why it hurts so badly at night.”
Professor Shen understands, estimating that in this situation, perhaps the toothache at night is affecting the heart rate, causing Zhang Huayao to bring her to the oral departnt for a check before surgery, fearing a black swan incident during surgery.
For heart patients, oral surgeons generally don’t recomnd treatnt, fearing it may induce heart disease. However, if the patient already has a heart condition and oral disease may worsen it, oral surgeons must think of ways to help.
A small dental clinic cannot have this technology. Only well-established oral surgeons in major hospitals dare to treat such patients.
After pondering, Professor Shen and Zhang Huayao continue discussing: “Director Zhang, she says she mainly has pain on the left side, but you and I both know her periodontal disease on the right side still needs treatnt as it affects her heart.”
