Dental disease?

Yes, teeth can get sick. Dental disease, like any other disease in the body, is something that is uncomfortable and sometimes painful and agonizing. And dental disease is nothing like any other disease of the body. There are these two sayings, "A toothache is not a disease, it hurts like hell." "Toothache is not a disease, no one asks if it hurts." Explain the sudden and powerful toothache, show that people's contempt for dental disease and contempt, but also show that people's difficult to understand the toothache and helpless, only the toothache people feel y and drenching summarized the aphorisms of such a heartfelt.

We know that teeth are an important part of the human body; teeth are also one of the hardest parts of the human body. Teeth play a role in swallowing and chewing food. It is the human body to digest food, get the nutrition of the first "merit". Once the teeth have a disease, once the toothache, you do not even bother to say, do not want to say, only silently, tears and flowers to endure the pain. Other people thought what happened to you, instantly like a different person. If someone asks, you will shake your head, or reluctantly say a: toothache. And others only disdainfully responded to you: toothache is not a disease ...... look, "toothache is not a disease", has long become the people's mantra.

The earliest scene I remember seeing a toothache is: the hot summer, my father, my mother and we are in the field to harvest ripe wheat. We were too young to learn how to cut wheat. Parents right hand clutching the sickle, left hand grasping the wheat, sweating to the golden wheat cut to, constantly tied into a small bundle. The wheat was arranged in rows. Suddenly, we saw that the mother held her face in both hands and squatted on the ground, not saying a word with tears in her eyes. The facial expression looked very painful. We didn't know what was wrong with the mother and didn't dare approach to ask. Seeing us all stop, buried in cutting wheat father only then stopped the hands of the work, gently said: your mother toothache, slow down for a while on the past. Afterwards, the mother said to us: toothache up straight to the heart of pain, pain in the eyes of people tears in the sockets, almost can not stand ...... that time, the mother's teeth have a disease. Toothache attacks from time to time. The age is still small, we simply do not know the taste of toothache, but also have no way to understand the mother's toothache when the pain and unspeakable suffering.

There was a man in the village called "Shattering the ugly son" (as the adults called him). The couple had a daughter and two sons. The eldest son was called "Wangshengzi." In the 1970s, people's standard of living was generally low, and the Wangshengzi family's life was even more difficult, with a year's worth of food and rags. Wangshengzi Da (as my mother called us) often got up early, carrying a small wicker basket and a shovel, to pick up dung from the animals on the curved village road. I don't know when he developed the habit of petty theft. Maybe he was forced by life. He often got up in the middle of the night to steal crops from other people's fields and things from the wheat field. People in the village know that he is that kind of person, but also sent an indecent nickname: "ghost to". It means "sneaky" and "ghostly". The reason I mention this person is because of his teeth. With the passage of time and changes in life, Wang Shengzi Dai also became an old man, his teeth fell out of the few remaining. Either his teeth hurt, or they interfered with swallowing food. There were one or two teeth that he didn't feel the need to keep. He decided to have his teeth extracted by the village "barefoot doctor", and it was this extraction that almost killed him. Think about it, teeth are connected to nerves. The root of the tooth is nearly two centimeters long and is embedded in the flesh. Without any measures, the bold barefoot doctor used a relatively strong thin rope to tie his only remaining teeth, and then forcefully pulled out one by one, only to pull his mouth bloody, screaming, convulsing, almost fainted. The barefoot doctor took a lot of effort to pull out a long tooth ...... The barefoot doctor also broke out in a stinking sweat because of this.

1992. I was 20 years old. In July of that year, I graduated from secondary school. At the time of graduation, the school did a physical examination of all the students (it seems that the medical examination form should also be put into the file). I clearly remember that on one of my medical examination forms, there was a line that read: 1 carious tooth. At the time, I didn't understand what this meant, except that I had one bad tooth. At the time, this bad tooth had no effect on my swallowing and chewing of food. I was in my prime, full of ambition and uncertain about my future, so I didn't take it seriously and put it out of my mind. Yes, youth is the wings of the young, and the young don't know the weight of youth. Often this is the case, life, how many reasons and changes will be unknowingly buried in the world of the young!

Today, the 11th edition of the March 2013 revision of the 321st printing of 500,000 copies of the "Xinhua Dictionary", which explains the term "dental caries" as follows: "Commonly called The term "caries" is explained in the New Chinese Dictionary as follows: "Commonly known as insect teeth, due to the fermentation of food residue in the mouth, which produces acids that erode the enamel of the teeth and form cavities; such teeth are called caries." I am more satisfied with the phrase "commonly known as worm teeth" because there is a folk saying that "maggots eat teeth". It is from this carious tooth that the dental disease has been with me for decades ......

Of course, there are many people who have dental disease. There are also a lot of people who are plagued and tormented by dental disease. Men and women, young and old. This is the impression I was left with when I went to the hospital for dental care. As long as I go to the hospital, go to the dental department, there are always people to see the teeth, there are always people to treat the dental disease. During the day, those medical equipments are always running in the dentistry department.

The carious tooth on my upper right side then fell out in small pieces from time to time. It must have been accompanied by inflammation of the gums and pain in the teeth. Buying anti-inflammatories and painkillers kicked in at this point.

The spring of the second year after my graduation, my father gave me something to say, put the phone to the unit, answering the phone is a colleague, colleagues to my father that I went to the hospital. When I came back, I called my father, who asked me in surprise: what did I go to the hospital for? He thought I had some kind of disease. I went to the hospital to see a big tooth on the lower left side. Just before that carious tooth had finished falling out, a big tooth on the lower left side also started to hurt vaguely, not for a day or two, but for many days. When it hurt, I bought some anti-inflammatory and painkillers and took them for a few days, and the sick tooth stopped hurting. But within a few days, and there is no time or place, the sick tooth starts to hurt again. The doctor wearing a mask and glasses looked at this big tooth of mine and said: there is a black spot in the middle of the tooth, which must be drilled, drilled and filled with medicine, changed the medicine several times and then filled it up, otherwise this tooth will be broken day by day. I was a little unnatural lying on the cold medical equipment, the doctor first picked up a small support spoon, supporting the lips, and then put a small instrument into my mouth, "rustling, rustling" to my big tooth spray cleaning fluid, feel itchy and uncomfortable. When the doctor drilled, I dodged, and the doctor kept saying, "Bear with it, bear with it. The doctor kept saying, "bear with it, bear with it." Every time the doctor drilled, he sprayed again and then asked me to spit out the cleaning solution in my mouth. The doctor drilled me several times in a row before he was done. Immediately after, the doctor used a small curved hook to pull out the drilled tooth in the tiny fallen part, and finally filled with medicine ....... The tears were always in my eyes. For the first time, I had experienced the pain and discomfort of drilling, and the feeling was indescribably agonizing and aggravating. I like to go through a robbery like.

After filling this big tooth, not long after, the carious tooth also fell out, after asking the doctor, made a denture, with a small piece of yellowish metal fixed on a good tooth. This small piece of yellowish metal was placed on the front incisor. When viewed from the front, it appeared to have a "gold tooth" look to it. Years ago, I saw and heard of people having 'gold teeth', but now I realize that most of that was just superficial! Only those who have had their teeth fitted can realize the agony and pain! Many times, we see the surface phenomenon.

Every time a child sees it, he or she will point it out to the partner and to the adults about how my "gold teeth" are ......

I often hear people say that the teeth are not good because they eat a lot of fruits and candies, which I think is not true. I did not have a lot of fruit candy to eat when I was a child, only on New Year's Day, you can eat a few. Bad teeth, and heredity, the body's immunity, nutritional balance, etc. have a relationship, right?

For the next few years, my teeth were fine.

At that time, there was an oldest man in the unit, his hometown is Hebei. The name is Li Changhai. We called him "Old Li". He has been living here for decades, having children. Every year after the Spring Festival, some active members of the unit will be organized, to have the conditions of the workers home to go to the favor. The name was going to do favors, but it was actually eating, drinking and entertainment. In the process of eating, every time, I found that Lao Li always ended up with half a bowl of rice, and did not take any food, just let the host add some plain water to his bowl, after which he ate it together with the rice. At that time, I didn't understand why, and didn't think much about it, let alone ask. Now I think, the reason why the old Li rice and white water, I am sure that the old Li's teeth are not good, can not bite a little hard vegetables ah!

A year after marriage, my son was born. The first thing I noticed was that my son was born a year after I got married, and when he started to grow teeth, I paid special attention to observe him for a while. First of all, a little bit of white teeth underneath, perhaps the gums are itchy, as long as he got something, all into the mouth, and keep biting. Time is not long, next to the exposed a little bit of white teeth. These two points of teeth are the front incisors. As my son grew up, these two points of teeth also gradually grew taller. One day, I found that my son's upper side grew a small white tooth, followed by a small white tooth next to it, and of course, these two small white teeth were also front incisors. After these four front incisors had grown in, the left and right teeth only started to grow in. Once I went back home to visit my parents for a few days before returning to the county. My wife picked me up at the station with my son in her arms. After getting off the bus, I approached my wife and son, and when my son saw me, he reached out and scratched at my face, and my wife said that blood was seeping out. Although the little guy can not speak, but, in his heart, he thought, this every day hugged him . Where did people go these days? ......

My son is growing up day by day. My gums started to become inflamed again, toothaches flared up from time to time, and I also had loose teeth. Time and again I went to buy anti-inflammatory medicines and took them on time. In a few days, I have to go to buy medicine again. I always felt that my teeth were not good at biting things. I could hardly bite anything that was slightly hard. Eating was bland and tasteless. At this time, the fixed metal piece of the denture I installed broke down, and the denture also fell out.

A student named Feng Jinyin's work is not as good, something from his city of Wuzhong to Lund to do business. When he saw me, he said half-jokingly: Liu Xiangzhong's teeth also fell out, his son is only so small ...... Nowadays look at the name of this classmate, how interesting ah! It is really fashionable. Now how many people just for the sake of these two words defiantly! How many people treat those two words like everything in life! How many people are behind bars because of these two words! How many people have been imprisoned because of these two words! They have become the sinners of history and the people! The small Feng Jinyin was a music-loving student who loved practicing the instruments that accompanied his music at school, and I saw his dedication and dashing movements as he struck the instruments. At that time, I thought his name was just a name, nothing special. On the contrary, a girl in the lower grades, forgetting that she stood out there, surprisingly caught my interest with her name: Lee Joy Child. Joyful child! Just listening to it makes one's heart happy. And a classmate with my acquaintance, I heard that she later found the name of the love of my name is actually a word difference, oh, I can not imagine that there is such a coincidence on earth! Said far away. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do it.

Some years ago, there was a toothpaste advertisement on CCTV: "Good teeth, appetite is good, the body will be great. The food will be fragrant." The advertisement was a good one, but it was also a good one. Although it is an advertisement, but also said a real truth. One old man and one young man, both chubby and smiling, showing their white teeth, toothbrushes in hand, saying the jingle and brushing their teeth. The image has stayed in my memory. My teeth are not so good, of course, my appetite is not so good. Eating doesn't smell too good either. Maybe it's because of my teeth, I don't feel good when I eat any food over the years.

After 2005, I worked in a district unit. I'm not sure what I'm talking about, but I'm not sure what I'm talking about," he said. The office work is not detailed, to contact a variety of people, to face a variety of people, to open the mouth to say more words, to answer the phone. Teeth are also the "face" of a person, and I did have a bad image when I lost a few teeth. The unit leader just started to remind me sideways: go to fill in the teeth ...... see I did not act, he later said bluntly: you should pay attention to their own image ah! ...... I always did not go to fill the teeth of the important reason is: as long as I see that a hard, cold apparatus, my heart is terrified, almost can not endure the drilling pressure of the difficult, intolerable and pain. Previously filled, not many days, still a small piece of a small piece of fall (folk say pink teeth), and inflammation and pain is always accompanied by. At this point, I have only my own way: let it go, let nature take its course, my teeth ah, you fall, I see you can fall to what extent!

Once, I took the opportunity of a business trip to go to the editorial office of Ningxia Literature Federation "Shuo Fang" to meet Mr. Meng, who was the prose editor at that time. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of a long journey, and it was a very long journey. As the only provincial literary publication in Ningxia, Shuo Fang is a sacred place in my heart. For a passionate literary youth, I felt so distant and full of longing! At that time, I did not meet Mr. Mengye. But I did meet Yirong. In a small, low-ceilinged house, we had a small talk. Unexpectedly, he saw my uneven teeth, smiled and said: your teeth can write a novel ...... because he is writing novels, jokes are open to literature.

......

I vaguely remember reading there that Mr. Zhang Xianliang, the famous writer, was also plagued by dental caries. I think Mr. conditions and vision, his dental caries was cured at the root!

A writer said, "Worried about things often happen, hope things often fall through." Yes, I worry about a thing still happened: I do not know that day, one of my front incisors fell out half. It was a front incisor! Maybe it was the effect of the first denture, the metal piece of the first denture was on this front incisor.

Winter 2010. There was a time to go to Yinchuan. I specifically went to Yinchuan Stomatological Hospital to see the teeth. The reason why I remember this hospital is because I knew there was this hospital when I went to school in Yinchuan twenty years ago. The first time to see the teeth in a big hospital. I was kind of eye-opening: spacious space, clean environment, new medical equipment, young doctors and nurses, witnessing these, you feel a lot of heart. As usual, there are a lot of dental patients in the hospital. Selling medical records, registering and consulting. A young female doctor made the initial diagnosis. I asked if I could get a tooth in my condition and the doctor said yes. She wrote a line on my chart and drew a symbol indicating one good tooth on the upper lip and half of the tooth to be retained or not. Another doctor looked at it and said that my other gum was inflamed and to heal it before I said anything about putting in a tooth, and then prescribed a couple of medications. I registered once more and made a point of asking about the type of dentures and the procedure for fitting them in another department. Picked up the medicines and left the hospital.

In March 2011, I began to make some preparations for the installation of dentures, hard to go to the dental department of the county hospital to pull out the roots of a few teeth still on the upper lip. First, it was cleaned, then anesthetized. Numbing on the gums, really make people cry, pain, needless to say, not more than a few minutes, feel the gums swell, swollen, but also wooden. I lay down, the doctor took the apparatus, in the gums dial, pluck, pull, a tooth root was quickly out, and next to the other root is not so easy, the doctor dial, pluck, pull a few times, make a strong pull out of the time, my nose, mouth began to bleed, I saw the doctor for a moment and also panicked, panicked, put down his hands of the apparatus, to me to pass the paper and cotton balls ... ...

With this experience, I don't dare to go to the county hospital to pull out my teeth anymore.

Winter 2013. With the encouragement and help of my friends, I finally got up the courage to go to Guyuan to have my teeth extracted.

In a clinic in South Hetan, the dentist made a diagnosis for me, and the assistant extracted half of my tooth, pulled out a root and filled the other tooth. Before the extraction, I talked about my trepidation and worry, and the young assistant comforted me, told me to relax, and got next to me, and I wasn't as tense and in as much pain as I was before while she was numbing, pulling out the root, and drilling the tooth. And my friend sitting off to the side kept comforting me and got me painkillers.

17

Two weeks later, I went to Goodyear again to have my teeth extracted.

When I came to Nanhe Beach, I couldn't find the clinic where I had my first tooth extraction. I went back and forth a few times in that crowded marketplace with a wide array of goods. My sense of direction and ability to memorize places is so poor. It was only later that I realized that I was walking back and forth on the road in front of that clinic. With great reluctance, I had two more good teeth, which had been with me for years, extracted at this clinic in order to have them fitted.

Weighing the pros and cons of a local clinic.

In the spring of 2014, I had no choice but to walk into County Hospital. In the dental department at County Hospital. Had a Dr. Yang order dentures for me.

So far, my teeth have a happy ending.

But the truth is that fake is fake, never real.

But the truth is that a fake is a fake and can never be real.
