I had my tooth filled today. To be precise, it was pulp capping and pulp-conserving treatment. I insisted on it. The doctor suggested root canal treatment from the beginning and said many reasons why it was not suitable for pulp-conserving treatment. I didn’t listen. Specifically, I was not scared. My belief is that if the pulp-conserving treatment fails, root canal treatment will be necessary in the worst case (the doctor still threatened that the tooth may not be saved in the end, so I gritted my teeth and continued to insist on pulp-conserving treatment).
I actually said this to the doctor, but I was still quite tangled and hesitant in my heart. Recently, I have been severely depressed and in a very bad state. Naturally, it is difficult to see a correct choice clearly when encountering problems. I cannot see clearly and my thoughts are unclear. Naturally, it is easy to get entangled. Therefore, I am very tired today. Moreover, there are many people visiting the dentist, and there are no seats. I have been standing outside the clinic all morning.
The entire dental filling process took less than 30 minutes. There was a doctor and an assistant, both of whom were very young women. They looked to be in their early 30s. At first, I thought that I would be an intern. However, the doctor moved very quickly and quickly. I felt that he was quite experienced. After I came out, I thought about it. The assistant next to me was studying on the side. Obviously, the person who was doing the operation had experience. On the contrary, if the one next to him was very experienced and directed the other person to do the operation, that would be it. Let the novices accumulate experience.
Before taking action, I asked about pulp capping agent. The doctor said to use iroot. BP, I know this, this is OK. It is made in Canada and is also the most famous pulp capping agent. It is said that the success rate of pulp preservation is higher with this one. I have done a lot of homework online before and learned about the uses and classifications of pulp capping agents and which situations they are suitable for. There are also filling materials for filling teeth. I didn’t ask if my condition was bad today. You can actually communicate with the doctor about the brand and model of resin filling materials used in these surgeries. Similar materials in hospitals are originally chosen for patients. If you don’t understand and don’t ask, the doctor won’t bother to explain it to you. The more he explains, the more questions you will have. I am a doctor and I am too lazy to talk nonsense with you.
I thought that after the pulp capping, the resin composite material of the dental filling would not be filled immediately. In fact, it was a poor state of mind. After thinking about it, I knew that the composite resin would definitely be filled after the pulp capping, otherwise it would breed dental bacteria again. So, I had my teeth filled without even knowing what materials to use.
For my lateral incisors, the most suitable one is 3M's z350. I have done some homework before. It has moderate hardness and the color is closest to the tooth color. The other one is harder, but the color is unnatural, and is mostly used for the back teeth, because the back teeth usually require a lot of biting force. There is also 3M's z250, which has a smaller hardness. It is just cheaper than the z350, and has no other features than the z350.
If you have a tooth filled next time, remember to understand the process with the doctor before filling the tooth. You should be familiar with the materials used in the process, or make your own choice. No matter what the situation is, the patient has the greatest autonomy when seeing a doctor. The patient decides what treatment method to choose. This is the rule.
When I left, I asked the doctor what I should pay attention to in the past few days, meaning whether I need to avoid hot, cold, sour, sweet, etc. The doctor said there is nothing special to pay attention to. Just eat after two hours. This answer surprised me. I didn’t ask further at the time. I regretted it later. I remembered that I had checked online before and there were a lot of things to pay attention to. When I came back, I checked again and found that you really need to be very careful after pulp capping. This is not possible and that is not possible.
I'm confused again. . Go to the hospital in two days and ask the doctor to find out more.
The beef brisket noodles we had in the evening were cooked two days ago, and the noodles were soft and soft. I saw in the news that Jet Li had a serious illness and he ate the noodles for his first meal today after being discharged from the hospital.
In addition, I stir-fried a loofah, which I really wanted to eat, and mixed up the eggs. In the end, I mistakenly added baking soda to the cornstarch, and the whole plate of loofah was ruined. It was extremely bitter in my mouth after eating it, and I realized that my brain was not working well, and my memory was not good. I forgot the bottle where the cornstarch was put, and when I rinsed it with water, it did not become mushy, but foamed. I didn't pay attention to this, which means that not only my memory is bad, but my brain is also really bad. Anyway, it is caused by depression, and my brain is getting worse and worse.
Before the pulp capping procedure started, I told the doctor that I was very afraid of pain. The doctor said it hurt and he gave me anesthesia. But as soon as the drill was started, I didn’t know if it was because I was nervous or in real pain, so I just said it hurt. It turns out that people feel so relaxed after losing consciousness. If people want to be pain-free, the complete solution is to lose consciousness. A few people can do it, so people have no choice but to live like this in purgatory. I saw a girl on the news a few days ago who was diagnosed with cancer. She said that her first reaction was that she felt relieved all of a sudden. There was no pressure anymore. The goal was no longer a goal and could be smashed. If you think about it carefully, this attitude is impossible to criticize.
Suddenly I thought, wouldn't it be very painless if I gave general anesthesia and then died, and also avoided the expensive cost of euthanasia?
