Patient: Hello Dr. Kang: My left and right lower wisdom teeth are not in the right position, and they have been inflamed twice in the past 3 months, and last time they caused a high fever! Now my lower left wisdom tooth gum is inflamed again, and my face is slightly swollen! But my gums on both sides have always been inflamed, but they don’t hurt when I touch them, and they only swell up when they’re serious! I would like to ask: 1. If I go to the general clinic on Tuesday, I can find you, right? 2. Can I pull it out now that it is still inflamed? 3. I haven’t taken any pictures before, so I can go to the clinic and get a one-time extraction, right? Thank you~ Laboratory and examination results: Last seen at: Tongji University Affiliated Hospital. Patient: Dr. Kang: Is the extraction of wisdom teeth covered by medical insurance? Kang Feiwu: The tooth is inflamed on Tuesdays and Fridays. It is recommended to treat the tooth with anti-inflammatory treatment first, and after it gets better, it is extracted. You can use medical insurance. Patient: Thank you. I have been taking metronidazole for 2 days now, and the inflammation of the gums has slightly improved. Kang Feiwu: If the inflammation is chronic and not very painful, it can be extracted. Patient: Hello, Dr. Kang: The inflammation of my lower left wisdom tooth has not completely subsided, but it doesn’t hurt much anymore. How early do I have to register? Can you give me a sick leave slip? Thank you! Kang Feiwu: You can come tomorrow and see how the inflammation is. If the inflammation is almost gone, you can pull it out. I can write a sick leave slip. Patient: Hi Dr. Kang: I had my lower left wisdom tooth extracted last Tuesday and the wound healed very well. I want to ask you, because the wound has been inflamed and I have been taking metronidazole, and now I have a heavy tongue, and I have no appetite for food. Also, what can I do to reduce the heavy tongue? Thank you~ (*^__^*) ~ Patient: Hello Dr. Kang, I went to your office this morning to have the stitches removed and you said my cavity needs to be filled. What is the cost of the filling and the scope of reimbursement by medical insurance? And what kind of material is used for the filling? Can the filling be done in one visit? Or do I need to go back and forth several times to finish it? Thank you for answering my question in your busy schedule. Kang Feiwu: Oh, fillings are no longer in my department, but in the Department of Oral Medicine. You need to consult them for specific questions. Patient: Oh~~hey~~ My wound is healing well, now I don’t feel anything at all, only the pain of the tooth decay sometimes~ Thank you very much Dr. Kang, I wish you a prosperous career~~ Kang Feiwu: Thank you, and I wish you a speedy recovery!
