As the saying goes, “toothache is not a disease, it hurts and kills people.” In order to prevent the condition of the teeth from worsening, once the teeth feel painful, it is better to seek medical attention in time. A man surnamed Liu in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China, recently went to a clinic for treatment due to toothache. When the doctor removed his tooth decay, he was surprised to find that a white live maggot about 1.5 cm long was squirming in the other half of his teeth. In this regard, the doctor speculated that it was suspected that Liu Nan had tooth decay himself, ate food with insect eggs, and did not pay attention to oral cleanliness, which made the oral cavity a hotbed for the growth of living things.
According to reports from “China Daily” and “Global Network”, Liu Nan has had tooth pain for many years, but he has been reluctant to go to the hospital for consultation. It was only a few days ago that he finally went to the stomatology department of Zhangmutou Hospital due to increased pain and swelling of his face, which made him unable to bear it anymore. After inquiring about Liu Nan’s medical history and checking the X-rays of his teeth, the doctor determined that he had impacted teeth, so it was recommended to remove them.
Unexpectedly, just after the doctor pulled out half of Liu Nan’s teeth for Liu Nan, he was surprised to find that there was a white live maggot squirming in his teeth. The doctor took the live maggots out of his teeth and showed them to Liu Nan. He was also shocked. After the operation, Liu Nan sighed, “If I had known this, I would have come to the dentist sooner. 」
Regarding the discovery of live maggots in Liu Nan’s teeth, according to the doctor’s judgment, it may be that the patient himself has dental diseases (such as cavities), and after eating unclean foods such as larvae or eggs, he did not pay attention to oral hygiene, making the lesions and food residues a hotbed for the growth of living things. Caused. In this regard, doctors remind that people must pay attention to oral hygiene. If they have toothache and discomfort, they should seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid worsening the condition.
