When it comes to teeth, "brushing three times a day" was influenced by my former colleague Song Yuan.
Many years ago we both worked in the feature department of Xinmin Weekly of Wenxin Group 38f. After lunch, I always watched him go to the bathroom with his toothbrush. People sometimes said that he was "germophobic" behind his back. I was very impressed. I thought that after washing his mouth in the morning, he didn't do it again until before going to bed at night, at least fifteen or six times. Hours of "hoarding dirt and evil practices", blessing of residues, fumigation of gastric qi, how many cracks and gaps, how many bacterial groups are causing trouble. There is a saying that "it is easy to break the thief in the mountain, but it is difficult to remove the thief in the teeth". There is only one way, brushing.
"Three brushes a day" has been going on for many years. Xiao Song has become "Old Song", but his teeth are still white and strong, white and sharp as if biting people. I can't do it. I have three implants on my right cheek and one on my left cheek. People sometimes praise my teeth, which are considered "well-off" among my peers. I was secretly happy for a few days, but my left cheek started to hurt, and my lower left "first" "Premolars" have been frequently swollen and painful recently. Ice compress has no effect. Chewing garlic has no effect. Try cleaning it, but it hurts when you touch it. Go to the hospital. Just one word: pull it out!
Pull out, easy. But it is better to have no medical treatment than to believe in medical treatment. Some simple facts need to be thought about alone.
The "first premolar", although extremely swollen and painful, did not move at all. Solid as a rock. Then this "swelling and pain" is not like inflammation at the root of the tooth. If it is apical inflammation or periodontitis, in addition to pain, it will also "shake". So in order to kill all oral pests, I took metronidazole every day, which is said to be the terminator of all anaerobic bacteria.
The problem is that the side effects of this medicine are too great. Soon after taking it, I experienced strong nausea, anorexia, and a metallic taste in my mouth.
I had no choice but to go to the hospital again. This is the third time I have had a full dental CT scan. The doctor still said that he could not see any foreign matter and that it was periodontitis. His advice was still one word: extraction!
I firmly refuse to follow. Human teeth are slightly poisonous, have the property of being burnt (carbonized), have a little musk, and can be used to treat mastitis (acute suppurative disease of the breast) like a god. The Compendium of Materia Medica is respectfully called "Buddha's Tooth Powder". It can also cure leaks, malignant sores, and acne. Sores (smallpox) indicate that human teeth are spiritual and good things. Don't give up lightly.
A week later, the affected area was as swollen as peanuts, but it remained motionless. I went to the hospital and was told they wouldn't drain it. I disinfected it with alcohol and did it myself. After the drainage, blood gurgled out, and the redness and swelling subsided immediately.
A few days later, it swelled again, as big as a broad bean, and it felt like it was just on the surface of the gums. I never believed that the inflammation was deep down. Fortunately, my right cheek has already been activated, and all food processing goes to the right side.
Continue to "brush three times a day". Even mouthwash is added and rinsed five or six times a day to keep the mouth close to sterility. I woke up early one morning, picked up the toothbrush and gently dragged it towards the affected area, and suddenly I felt something strange. The gums of the first premolar were "pulled" like "hard scabs", as if they were equipped with zippers. The wound has scabbed over? When you push it with your fingers, there are small "bone fragments" exposed on the gums, just like mineral seedlings.
I am very surprised. It was suspected that the tooth bone was broken and the surface bone tissue was peeled off. the fat is in the fire. After procrastinating day by day, the trouble finally came out...
Now that it was done, I simply pinched the tip of the tip and flicked it like the shutter on the back of an alarm clock - there was a faint "squeeze" sound, and the "bone piece" slumped and slid. A large amount of blood gushed out, but the affected area, which was as swollen as a broad bean, immediately deflated. As soon as it was loosened, the gums immediately returned to their original shape.
Under a magnifying glass, the "bone fragment" is in the shape of a square "M", one side seems to have enamel, and the other side is rough, but it must not be my dental tissue, because overnight, the affected area was closed and milled with lathes, "First The "premolars" immediately regained their powerful crushing force.
As a dramatic evidence, I marked the M-shaped "bone fragment" with the date and put it into a pocket storage box. It might have been a chicken breast bone or a turtle bone at first. In short, it was basically a leftover after a gluttonous meal. It was quietly cultivated and quietly bubbling. I took it to seek help from a doctor.The doctor performed another CT scan on my gums as usual, and he spoke sincerely. 1. The human body has a self-healing function. This tooth, "the blind little chicken took care of itself", saved itself. Congratulations! 2. If it had been extracted at the beginning, because the culprit was an invisible "small bone fragment", not a tooth, the gums would continue to swell like a "broad bean". Dental implants would not work, and dentures would not work. If dental implants are forced, not only the original teeth will be sacrificed in vain, but also the original teeth will be sacrificed. New teeth will also fail. Many unjust, false and wrong cases have been based on this principle. 3. I hope to continue "three brushes a day". 4. All tickets are free today.
I think that not many dental medical records are recorded in ancient books. An important reason is that many ancient people died before their mouths were full of teeth. In the millions of years of evolutionary history, the average life span of human beings is only about 20 years old. According to Lin Wanxiao's "Average Life span and Life Expectancy of People in Ancient my country", the "average life span" of the Xia and Shang Dynasties was no more than 18 years old. During the period, it was 20 years old, 22 years old in the Han Dynasty, 27 years old in the Tang Dynasty, 30 years old in the Song Dynasty, 33 years old in the Qing Dynasty, and about 35 years old in the Republic of China.
OK, according to the design of the Creator, my "first premolar" has long been used beyond its service limit and has passed its shelf life. Think about the food, refrigerator, mobile phone, and computer at home. Which one of them has no expiration date?
It’s time to be grateful after enjoying it for a long time. Right. (Hu Zhanfen)
