When social terror becomes the favorite of the police

Chapter 332 Gao Lu (2)

Listening to her mother's words, Gao Lu smiled bitterly, "I'm just afraid of something going wrong when I get my tooth pulled. My wisdom tooth is on the bottom and it's growing horizontally. I've seen a lot of stories online about people having problems after getting their teeth pulled."

Some suffered massive bleeding, some had facial paralysis... I'm scared..."

"Stop reading that stuff. Go to a proper hospital to have it done and find a professional doctor. I've told you so many times, but you just won't listen and insist on believing what you read online."

Get it removed as soon as you get back; the sooner you remove it, the sooner you'll be free!

Upon hearing the last sentence, "The sooner you get it pulled, the sooner you'll be free," Gao Lu touched her swollen gums with the tip of her tongue, gritted her teeth, and said, "Fine, I'll get it pulled as soon as I get back!"

After hanging up the phone, the person sitting next to Gao Lu laughed and said, "Little girl, is your wisdom tooth hurting?"

Gao Lu nodded shyly, "Yes, I have a wisdom tooth that often gets inflamed and painful."

"Oh dear, you have to get your wisdom teeth pulled, otherwise they'll damage your natural teeth!"

If your wisdom teeth grow in well, there's no problem. But if they don't, you'll have to have them extracted!

When people around heard this topic, some shared their experiences of getting their wisdom teeth removed.

"In short, go to a reputable hospital. Although it's more expensive, it's safer!"

"That makes sense. Don't go to small clinics to have it done; it's easy for something to go wrong!"

"Yes, yes, especially the jaw, which has many nerves..."

Listening to the others talking back and forth, Gao Lu sometimes wanted to pull it off, and sometimes she didn't.

Lin Xiaoyan stood there, looking at Gao Lu's expression, thinking about her final fate.

She looked at Gao Lu and asked, "Where are you planning to get your tooth pulled?"

Gao Lu looked up and saw a girl about her age with a gentle gaze. She smiled and said, "I'm going home today. My home is in Anhui Province. After I get home, I plan to go to the hospital near my home to have it removed!"

Lin Xiaoyan nodded after hearing this, "When you're looking for a hospital, do your research and find a good doctor to remove it so you don't suffer."

Gao Lu nodded. "That makes sense."

She looked at Lin Xiaoyan and asked, "Have you ever had your wisdom teeth removed?"

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Gao Lu and smiled, "I've had it pulled, but it was my upper wisdom tooth. I had it pulled in high school at the dental clinic in my hometown."

Luckily, I found a very skilled doctor. I had barely lay down when the tube was removed in a second—it didn't hurt at all!

Hearing Lin Xiaoyan's words, Gao Lu looked longingly, "I hope I can also meet a doctor with good skills."

My wisdom tooth is growing horizontally, which is probably going to cause some trouble.

Lin Xiaoyan: "You can go to a specialized dental hospital to have a look. The doctors there are experienced and have advanced techniques."

When she thought about the top-tier hospital the girl had gone to, she stopped talking.

A dental hospital?
Gao Lu thought for a moment. There seemed to be a dental hospital near her home, but it was a bit far away…

In the afternoon, Gao Lu returned home, where her mother was.

"Lulu, I think you should just go get your teeth pulled. Your face is all swollen!"

"Looking at her daughter's swollen face, Gao's mother said."

Gao Lu put down her backpack, wanting to eat something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her teeth started to hurt.

"Pull it! I'm going to get my tooth pulled right now!"

Mother Gao: "Go ahead, the hospital is open now. Once it's done, you can eat in a couple of days!"

Gao Lu went to the bathroom, looked in the mirror at her face, which was big on one side and small on the other, and laughed.

"Are you going or not? I'll go with you to get your tooth pulled."

Gao Lu's mouth was half open. "No need, I'll go myself!"

Walking into the living room, Gao Lu searched for hospitals on her phone to see which hospital had the most positive reviews.

However, after searching for a long time, I couldn't find any substantial answers.

"If you ask me, don't bother searching online, just go to our municipal hospital. The doctors there are professional!"

Gao's mother heated up a bag of milk, brought it over, and handed it to her daughter.

Gao Lu took it and asked, "Mom, where is the dental hospital around here?"

"A dental hospital? That's a bit far. It would probably take you forty minutes by car."

"It's so far away..." Gao Lu thought to herself as she opened her phone and searched for the address of the dental hospital.

"Mom, how was the tooth extraction at the dental hospital?"

When Gao's mother heard her daughter's question, she looked at her daughter as if she were an idiot.

"Isn't that obvious? Dental hospitals specialize in treating all kinds of oral problems; they're much more professional. You're asking about tooth extraction?"

Gao Lu looked at the map and thought, thankfully, the road was going smoothly.

She then searched for dental hospitals online and instantly found many videos posted by dentists.

She saw a doctor who specializes in extracting wisdom teeth, and in the videos, most of the wisdom teeth were growing horizontally.

She scrolled through the comments and saw someone asking how much it costs to get a wisdom tooth that's growing horizontally removed...

She saw the doctor's reply: eight or nine hundred.

Well, this price is acceptable.

She had searched online before and saw that some people had to go into the operating room, be given anesthesia, and then have the doctor use a "weapon" to pull out their teeth...

"I'm going to the dental hospital to get it checked out!" Gao Lu decided.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyan's words kept echoing in her mind: "Lie down, and in a second, your tooth will be pulled out, without any pain at all..."

Hopefully, she can also find a skilled doctor to extract her tooth quickly and painlessly!

"Mom, I'll just take a Didi (ride-hailing service) instead of driving." Gao Lu thought that if she was in too much pain after getting her tooth pulled, she wouldn't be able to drive.

Taking a taxi is safer.

Gao's mother looked at her daughter, "You really don't want me to come with you?"

Gao Lu waved her hand, "I'll go myself!"

Upon arriving at the dental hospital, Gao Lu looked at the nurse at the information desk and asked where to get her wisdom tooth extracted and whether she needed to take a number.

"No need. Do you see that examination room? Just go there."

"OK, thanks"

Gao Lu walked to the consultation room the nurse had just directed her to. She looked up and saw that it was the maxillofacial repair consultation room.

There was a nurse at the entrance, and inside there were several cubicles, each with a doctor treating a patient.

"Hello, I'm here to have my wisdom teeth extracted," Gao Lu said softly to the nurse.

Nurse: "Did you bring your ID card?"

“I’ve taken it.” Gao Lu immediately took out her ID card.

After the nurse entered Gao Lu's information, she said, "Please sit by the door for a while. I'll call you over when the doctor has finished seeing you."

"it is good."

Gao Lu walked to the doorway and sat down. She looked at the people coming and going, feeling a little nervous.

Soon the nurse called Gao Lu's name.

After Gao Lu went inside, she saw a middle-aged male doctor.

"what happened?"

Gao Lu: "I want to get my wisdom tooth removed; I have one growing in on my lower right side..."

"Lie down, let me take a look."

After the doctor examined Gao Lu, he asked her to get an X-ray.

After taking the X-ray, the doctor glanced at it and said, "Fortunately, your wisdom tooth hasn't damaged the teeth in front of it yet, but it will always cause problems..."

Half an hour later, Gao Lu walked out of the dental hospital, covering her face.

She felt her mouth was completely numb; the anesthetic hadn't worn off yet.

However, the knot in her heart immediately dissipated, and she finally had her wisdom tooth extracted!
I will never get an infection once a month again, and I will never have a toothache again!

Suddenly, Gao Lu felt a pang of regret. Why hadn't she come to have it removed sooner? The sooner it was removed, the more comfortable it would have been!
