Ma 'am, this tooth was planted a year ago, when a 3D film was taken. There are several reasons for the delay. First of all, my wife had an injection to prevent loose fractures. Dr. Lu said that this injection will affect the combination of dental implants and gums. It is best to stop the needle for one year before planting teeth. Second, the film found that there were blood vessels under the gums where he planned to implant teeth. Dr. Lu is worried that it will be difficult to implant teeth when encountering blood vessels. Third, because of the epidemic some time ago, we have been avoiding going to dental clinics and other places.
Sydney has been unsealed for several months, and it is almost the end of the year. We can reimburse 1000 Australian dollars for dental implants from medical insurance every year, but this year's quota will expire after the New Year. So we asked Dr. Lu if he could arrange to implant teeth for my wife recently. Because Sydney is about to be unsealed, Dr. Lu is very busy recently, but he said he would arrange it for us as soon as possible. 2021119 Dr. Lu's assistant called and asked if my wife could have her teeth planted this weekend. My wife said yes, so she decided to have her teeth planted at 9 am on Sunday. 1 1.
Dr. Lu and my wife said that in order to avoid touching the blood vessels below, we can only choose a shorter implant this time, using 6 mm instead of the usual 8 mm. He also told my wife that he would try his best to sow seeds for her, but he should also be mentally prepared. If a hole is drilled in the gum and it is not suitable for planting, it can only be cut and sutured, but Dr. Lu said that this is unlikely.
After listening to what Dr. Lu said, my wife naturally felt very nervous. Dr. Lu also paid special attention to this dental implant. Before dental implants, Dr. Lu's assistants were all nurses. This time, Dr. Lu specially invited a dentist as an assistant. Because he was worried about touching blood vessels, Dr. Lu had to take X-rays every time he went in, taking six pictures before and after. During filming, Dr. Lu put on protective clothing for my wife as usual and asked her what was wrong. His wife replied that she had hypothyroidism. Dr. Lu said to be careful, so he added another layer of protection to my wife. But I'm afraid it's too heavy, so I let my wife feel heavy and take it off. The dental implant lasted one hour and forty minutes, twice as long as usual. Dr. Zhong Lu asked my wife how she felt several times and said that she would rest if she couldn't stand it. Every time between filming, Dr. Lu will take care of my wife to shut up and rest. After planting teeth, Dr. Lu was worried that my wife would not get up and carefully lifted her from the operating chair. My wife went to the bathroom after planting her teeth, which took a long time. Dr. Lu was worried about what was going on, so she asked the assistant female doctor to go to the bathroom to have a look.
After planting teeth, my wife went to the drugstore to get anti-inflammatory drugs. Dr. Lu asked her if she wanted to call me and let me go to accompany her. My wife said no, and Dr. Lu also took care of my wife. If there is anything wrong at home, I will call him immediately and tell her my personal phone number.
It's been more than a month since this dental implant, and my wife feels good. Two weeks ago, when Dr. Lu took out her stitches, she told my wife that the tooth was successfully implanted. My wife says that's your skill. We are glad to meet a good dentist like Dr. Lu in Australia. My wife told me that she would order a flag for Dr. Lu to show our gratitude.
Australian friends often ask us whether to plant our teeth in Australia or China. This question is difficult to answer. The benefits of dental implants in China are obvious, and the price is cheap. Dental implants in China are all in large hospitals, with good equipment and guaranteed technology. Dental implants in Australia are all in private clinics, which are more expensive than those in China, and the overall hardware is not as good as that in big hospitals in China. However, according to my dental implant experience in China and Australia, the requirements for hardware and equipment are not high. The quality of dental implants depends on the professional level of dentists, whether their work is rigorous and meticulous, and whether they are serious and responsible for patients. Judging from the teeth planted by Dr. Lu for us, it is not worse than the big hospitals in China. More than ten years ago, I planted several teeth in Nanjing Stomatological Hospital. At that time, few people planted teeth, and there were more doctors and nurses than patients. I have been there several times, and everyone in it knows me. At that time, doctors and patients got along like friends, patiently and meticulously explaining medical plans to patients and taking care of them everywhere. Unfortunately, the stomatological hospitals in China are now overcrowded, and the doctor-patient relationship more than ten years ago is not ugly. As for private hospitals and clinics in China, we should be more careful. Not to mention the high price, several of my friends have had problems after planting their teeth there, and they still regret it.
