When I was in the second year of primary school, a dental team came from Shanghai. The doctors did a dental check-up for each of our children and found that my two upper and lower sixth-year-old teeth on my right side had tooth decay. The head teacher asked me to go home and ask my parents for money, and I was charged two yuan for making up a caries. With today's fees, it's like free. But when I got home, I didn't even have four dollars.

When I asked my mother for money, she was washing dishes at the faucet. I explained the situation to her, but she refused, and picked up the dish she was washing, and made an analogy:

"You're going to fill a tooth, like this bowl, you have a gap, you pay to fix it, and then you break it and throw it away."

At that time, parents had no concept of eugenics. Their minds are full of thoughts about how to make their stomachs swell often, and they will be blessed with more children! For teeth, which have always been regarded as not a disease by the Chinese people, it is not worth mentioning in their eyes. They don't understand that dental disease is a mild or severe disease, and it is related to the happiness of the owner of the tooth - whether to eat well or not to eat well. They don't even know how to take care of their children's teeth, because they don't even know how to take care of their teeth. I remember my parents never urging us to brush our teeth when we were young. It was only when I became an adult that I learned that people should brush their teeth at least twice a day. I even learned from my parents that they brushed their teeth like playing a violin, the toothbrush was a bow, and their teeth were strings, and they played like this for decades, so that they became old men and women before they were old. Luckily, I read a book on dental care and knew that the consequence of playing a violin on my teeth was that I would pull a groove out of the bottom of my teeth. I immediately looked in the mirror and found that there were many grooves in my teeth, and I went to the hospital to repair them, so as to avoid the bad luck of my parents who were full of dentures in their sixties. As adults, they are keen to step up production, work hard, have no time to read, and are extremely lacking in medical knowledge. My mother didn't even know that my two sixth-year-old teeth were grown by myself when I ate and ate vegetables every day, and they were permanent teeth that would accompany me for the rest of my life and give me a pension for the rest of my life. She also thought that the six-year-old tooth was a baby tooth, she was pregnant in October, she ate and ate vegetables in the womb, and she helped me grow in my gums, and when I was out of the womb, it sprung up from the gums. She only knows that baby teeth are short-lived ghosts and don't live long, and she doesn't know that sixth-year-old teeth are not baby teeth but permanent teeth, which can be as long as the owner's life. No wonder she thinks it's spending money to make it up to it like taking off your pants and farting — like a broken bowl being mended and then broken.

Because I didn't have the four yuan that needed to be filled, the "tooth worms" in the upper and lower sixth-year-old teeth on the right side were able to survive and grow with me.

When I was able to enter the dental clinic on my own without asking my mother for money, the cavities in my two sixth-year-old teeth were like the others, growing up slowly. It doesn't matter if the cavity is bigger, it hides in a dark corner and no one notices it, if you can still eat it and drink it sweet, you can ignore it. What's worse is that it actually does it. In medical terms, tooth decay travels from the enamel and dentin all the way to the pulp, the dental nerve. I'm not a dentist, but I have some dental knowledge. It is known that the damage to the tooth nerve is irreversible. It's not like a sore on the face, which can be healed with a plaster. When it breaks, it breaks, just like when a person dies and goes into a coffin, it is impossible to climb out of the coffin.

So, at the dental clinic, Dr. A danced his teeth and divided five by two, and pulled out the sixth-year-old tooth of my lower right gum like a turnip. It's good, I like to be clean and tidy.

Wait! My sixth instar tooth in my right upper gum is also terminally ill. The cavities on it are stingier than the human eye, and the human eye cannot hold sand, and it cannot even hold a grain of rice. Rice is a trickster, and he likes to burrow into cavities. After going in, it didn't move, and it made my toothache unbearable. Sleep on a pillow. I had no choice but to enter the dental clinic again. This time it's Dr. B, and if Dr. A is a left-leaning doctor, Dr. B is a bit right-leaning. He said that even if the tooth nerve is damaged, it is not necessary to extract the tooth, and the tooth can be saved through treatment. In today's parlance, it is root canal treatment. Today's dentistry is more developed than then, and there are still flower heads after root canal treatment, and the teeth that have been treated for root canal have to make a set, that is, to make porcelain teeth, so that the teeth can wear armor and be tough and sharp to resist the attack of "tooth worms". At that time, there was no porcelain tooth technology. My sixth instar tooth in my right upper tooth was saved thanks to Dr. B's efforts. I am very grateful that the dead were resurrected.

As the years passed, my lower right gum was too fine, but I was missing a tooth, which did not delay me from eating and drinking. The upper right gum, the sixth-year-old tooth that came back to life, made waves. First it turns yellow, then it turns black, and after it turns yellow, yellow, black, and black, the teeth automatically fall out, but it hurts to drink water. I had no choice but to go to the dental office again, this time to Dr. C. Doctor C was digging sweet potatoes in the dirt, and dug up my sixth-year-old tooth, which was rotten and had only a few heels left, and dug me up with blood all over my mouth. Because I had an anesthetic bodyguard, I didn't feel any pain at all, but the young lady watching the battle next to me was so frightened that her face was pale! One Jin asked me, "Is it painful?" Doesn't it hurt? ”

I said, "I don't feel it." ”

That's why I put my trust in Dr. C. He actually had the ability to dig up all the rotten potatoes in my gums like sweet potatoes, instead of being left with rotten roots in the flesh like a dentist like an unlucky guy I heard. So, when the teeth of the dead sixth-year-old tooth were noisy again, I did not hesitate to go to Dr. C again. Dr. C was very neat enough to help me make up for it. At night, it hurts! The unbearable pain kept me awake all night. I could only go to him again, and he opened the hole to refill it. It still hurts, it hurts more and more, and the pain makes the family feel like they have a toothache and insomnia all night. The next day, I woke up early in the morning, stayed in front of Dr. C's ward, and strongly requested a tooth extraction. After the tooth extraction, I asked for the extracted tooth to be kept as a souvenir, only to find out that the extracted tooth was in the direction of the wisdom tooth that I had grown at the age of 25, and the "toothworm" opened a window for it, and it was the size of two mung beans. There is such a big cavity in a tooth, and Dr. C only knows how to make up for it like a pig's brain, and it seems that he is only good at digging sweet potatoes. From this, I realized that the dentist's craft can cause epilepsy, and under normal circumstances, it is very dignified, and the initiation of the disease is confused and convulsive. In the end, my wisdom tooth had to be removed, because it was also infected with bacteria and viruses, some of which were still anaerobic, and the dripping forest might not kill it.

There are many things in the world that can only be recognized by time when time is distanced. My lower right gum, because of Dr. A's left-leaning, has done everything to eliminate evil, and today it is peaceful and neat. My right upper gum, because Dr. B wanted to accumulate some virtue, and used the crappy root canal treatment to save my sixth-year-old teeth, but the result was just like the advertising slogan: "I have nail fungus, one infection two". Dental caries, one infection two, no, one infection. Not only did it not save it, but it caused a disaster to the pears and dates, so that its viruses and bacteria were passed on from generation to generation, and they were infected to the two teeth next to them. Amitopho! Luckily, I only have two teeth after my sixth instar tooth, and if it grows in the center of my mouth, it will kill at least half of my mouth. It can be seen that perfection leads to the opposite of perfection. I am still grateful to the left-leaning Dr. A, who unceremoniously eliminated the diseased tooth. The heroic gesture of his tooth forceps seemed to be yesterday. He eliminated the diseased sixth-year-old tooth and saved the two teeth after the sixth-year-old tooth. Practice has proved that he is right.

Although the two six-year-old teeth on my left side have not been "eaten by insects" in history, the six-year-old teeth of the lower gums have been in the shape of a pot due to overuse.

Because Dr. D wanted to send his son to study abroad, he worked in a small hospital on Saturdays and weekends to earn money for 360 days a day. I asked her to make a braces for my lower left sixth instar tooth in the shape of a pot, and by the way, to make dentures for the place where my right upper gum was damaged by the sixth instar tooth pit and was missing three teeth. The two items totaled, she charged a thousand, she declared; First, the porcelain tooth I made is a domestic product, and secondly, this is the price of a small hospital, if you go to the big hospital where she works, you will definitely not be able to get a thousand yuan. More than ten years ago, prices were cheaper than now, and I couldn't figure out the cost of dentistry more than ten years ago, I only knew that Dr. D's skill was a two-tooth hook and itchy - a good hand. My porcelain teeth are beautiful and functional, natural, not high or low, just like I have a new tooth in my lower left gum. Although I never wear the three dentures she helped me make, and I eat like my mouth is not eating with it, and no matter how good things are, it is as tasteless as eating raw rice, so as to experience what it is like to have a full mouth of dentures, I am still very grateful to her in my heart, and I feel that she is an elite in the dental industry.

However, when I wanted Dr. D to make a sleeve for my sixth instar tooth in my left upper gum, she said that if the upper teeth are to be condone, it is better to remove the contour of the lower teeth and do both teeth together, which is more appropriate. She kept encouraging me to use imported braces, but I refused. I haven't heard that you have to do braces with your upper and lower teeth facing each other, and your teeth don't get married, so why do you have to do them in pairs? Besides, I don't know how good foreign porcelain teeth are, but I do know that imported ones must be expensive. I also know that the domestic porcelain tooth is very good, I have used it for more than ten years, and it is intact so far, why use a foreigner? Why do you want to knock it out? Be all abroad! Dr. D refused to have a porcelain tooth for my left upper sixth age tooth because I refused her proposal. The tooth to be porcelain was delayed.

Soon after, I introduced a friend to Dr. D. My friend has a caries, which is a wisdom tooth, according to my temperament, it was pulled out, and it is not a six-year-old tooth, and it is responsible for important leadership work. Some wisdom teeth are crippled at birth, and doctors pull them out. But my friend insisted on treatment and braces. At this time, Dr. D felt that it was slow to earn money by working in a small hospital on weekends, so he had already co-opened a dental clinic and worked in his own shop in his spare time. I took my friend to the dental hospital to look for her, and she took her to her clinic a few times. My friend's tooth is going to have a root canal treatment first. It stands to reason that one root canal treatment for one tooth should be counted three times by Dr. D.
