"Don't say that. Director Zhang has brought many patients to our place for treatment, and he is half a dentist. We don't need to look at many dental problems. He takes a look at them first, and he has an idea."
Many people praised her as an adopted son, and Teacher Lu rolled her eyes inwardly.
After hearing that Mr. Zhang had done some research on dentistry, Xie Wanying realized that as a cardiologist, it would be best to learn a little bit about dentistry, so she went over to observe and study seriously.
The patient sat on the dental chair. Professor Shen put on a hat, mask and gloves, turned on the light, held the patient's jaw, and adjusted the position to observe the situation in the patient's mouth. After careful examination for a while, Professor Shen made a preliminary diagnosis. Conclusion: "Teacher Lu, you have two wisdom teeth growing in your mouth, which are not too many. There is no time to remove them. The one on the left is crooked and is an impacted tooth, affecting the big teeth in front. The wisdom teeth must be removed. , there is a cavity, and there is also a cavity on the side of the big tooth, which requires root canal treatment. Moreover, in your mouth, several teeth have formed periodontal pockets, and the big tooth on the right is also a little loose. This is periodontitis. "
Teeth are so complicated. When Teacher Lu heard this, he was a little confused. It turned out that he had so many problems with his oral cavity.
Zhang Huayao sighed.
I was busy with work before, and the old man was angry with him for not seeing him. As a result, I had not been able to keep a close eye on the old man's physical condition, and ended up in this situation now.
Doctors are actually no different from ordinary people. When they are busy, they can't take care of their own health. Dental care requires time. Teacher Lu works in a research institute and has to review papers for students. Sometimes he is so busy that the sky is dark and the earth is dark.
"I feel more pain on the left side now." Teacher Lu covered the left cheek with his hand and said to the doctor.
Toothache is very tormenting. It can make people restless day and night, unable to sleep well, and unable to eat. In this case, the body will deteriorate day by day.
Professor Shen turned the doctor's chair where he was sitting and communicated with Zhang Huayao: "Director Zhang, do you think Mr. Lu's situation is not suitable for tooth extraction?"
"Yes." Zhang Huayao said, "Can you see if we can give her local treatment first, and then consider tooth extraction after the cardiac interventional surgery. I know that her wisdom teeth must be extracted. The main reason is that she has toothache at night. It’s so painful that I haven’t been able to sleep for the past few days, and I’ve taken painkillers to no avail.”
"Does taking painkillers have no effect, Teacher Lu?" Professor Shen turned around and asked the patient himself.
Teacher Lu frowned: "I wonder why it hurts so much at night?"
Professor Shen understood that the patient's condition was probably that the toothache at night was affecting the heart rate, so Zhang Huayao could only bring him to the dental department to see what was going on before the operation, for fear of another black swan incident happening during the operation.
When encountering patients with heart disease, stomatologists generally do not advocate treatment for fear of inducing heart disease. However, if the patient has heart disease and the oral disease will worsen the heart disease, the stomatologist must help find a way.
Such technology is not available in small dental clinics. Only powerful dental surgeons in large hospitals dare to accept such patients.
After thinking about it, Professor Shen and Zhang Huayao continued to discuss: "Director Zhang, she said she mainly hurts on her left side. You and I both know that the periodontitis on her right side needs to be treated as well, and it will affect her heart."
