"Don't say that. Director Zhang has brought many patients to see us, so he is half a dentist. He doesn't need us to check many dental problems. He takes a look first and has some idea in his mind."
Many people praised her adopted son, but Teacher Lu rolled her eyes in her heart.
After hearing that Mr. Zhang had some knowledge of dentistry, Xie Wanying realized that it would be best for a cardiologist to learn a little bit about dentistry, so she went over to observe and learn carefully.
The patient sits in the dental chair. Professor Shen put on a hat, mask and gloves, turned on the light, held the patient's jaw, and adjusted his position to observe the situation in the patient's mouth. After a careful examination, Professor Shen made a preliminary diagnosis: "Teacher Lu, you have two wisdom teeth in your mouth, which is not too many, and they were not removed in time. The one on the left is crooked and is an impacted tooth, which affects the molars in front. The wisdom tooth must be removed. There is a cavity in it, and there are also cavities on the side of the molars, so root canal treatment is needed. In addition, several teeth in your mouth have formed periodontal pockets, and the molar 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 oral problems.
Zhang Huayao sighed.
He was busy with work before, and the old man was angry with him and refused to see him, which resulted in him not being able to keep a close eye on the old man's health condition, leading to the current situation.
Doctors are actually no different from ordinary people. When they are busy, they have no time to take care of their own health. Dental care takes time. Teacher Lu works in graduate school, and he has to review students' papers, and sometimes he is so busy that he is exhausted all day long.
"I feel more pain on the left side now." Teacher Lu said to the doctor while covering his left cheek with his hand.
...
...
Toothache is very torturous. It can make people restless day and night, unable to sleep well, and unable to eat well. Under such circumstances, the body will deteriorate day by day.
Professor Shen turned around the doctor's chair he was sitting on and communicated with Zhang Huayao: "Director Zhang, do you think it is not suitable for tooth extraction in Teacher Lu's case?"
"Yes." Zhang Huayao said, "Can you treat her locally first, and then consider extracting the tooth after the heart intervention surgery. I know that her wisdom tooth must be extracted. The main reason is that she has severe toothache at night. It hurts so much these days that she can't sleep, and the painkillers don't work."
"Painkillers don't work, Teacher Lu?" Professor Shen turned around and asked the patient himself.
Teacher Lu frowned and said, "I don't know why it hurts so much at night?"
Professor Shen understood that the patient's condition was probably that his toothache at night affected his heart rate, so Zhang Huayao had to be taken to the oral department to check out the situation before the operation, for fear that another black swan event would occur during the operation.
When encountering patients with heart disease, dentists generally do not recommend treatment for fear of inducing heart disease. However, if the patient already has heart disease and oral disease can make the heart disease worse, the dentist must help find a solution.
Small dental clinics would not have such technology. Only the dentists in large hospitals with strong capabilities dare to take on such patients.
After thinking about it, Professor Shen and Zhang Huayao continued to discuss: "Director Zhang, she said that the pain is mainly on the left side. You and I both know that her periodontitis on the right side also needs to be treated, which will affect her heart."
