Mr. Yang, 26, works in a wedding company in Shenzhen and returned to his hometown Nanzhang County to visit relatives in August. During his rest at home, Mr. Yang wanted to have his wisdom teeth pulled out, so he chose to be treated in a local hospital. Unexpectedly, the accident happened ... Mr. Yang's cousin said, "He went to the hospital at 2: 30 in the afternoon and didn't pull out his wisdom teeth for more than four hours." Because it took too long and the doctor's work was drawing to a close, the doctor suggested that he come back tomorrow to take it out.

After leaving the hospital, Mr. Yang began to recall the process of treatment. "Why did it take so long to simply pull out a tooth?" At this time, Mr. Yang, who has been working with his mouth for a long time, is exhausted. He contacted his cousin and told him the situation. When his cousin found out, he quickly sent him to Xiangyang Stomatological Hospital for examination. The results of the inspection surprised Mr. Yang. X-ray shows that Mr. Yang's wisdom teeth are trapped in the deep space inside the left mandible. The doctor told him that if the wisdom teeth were not pulled out as soon as possible, it would lead to facial space infection with serious consequences. Due to the limited medical technology in the hospital, Mr. Yang contacted the Stomatological Hospital of Wuhan University for help.

On September 2, Mr. Yang was admitted to the ward. At this time, his left face was swollen, his mouth could not be opened, and he felt pain when he spoke. Professor Li Zubing, the chief physician of oral and maxillofacial trauma and temporomandibular joint surgery, conducted a comprehensive examination on Mr. Yang again. Li Zubing introduced that from the two dental CT scans, the patient's wisdom teeth are deep, grow upside down in the direction of the tongue, cling to the inferior alveolar neural tube, and the lingual bone wall is weak, so local doctors may not pay attention when extracting teeth. "The position of this wisdom tooth has been changing with the movement of the lower jaw. At present, patients have oral pain, and the hidden teeth are free from deep tissues, which may cause problems such as deep tissue infection. "

On September 4th, Lv Kun, deputy chief physician, took out the wisdom teeth that fell into the mandible through surgery. At the request of Mr. Li, the wisdom tooth of the other mandible was also pulled out, and the operation only took 1.5 hours.

Lv Kun reminded that patients should try to choose a regular and qualified hospital when preparing for tooth extraction treatment. Dentists should evaluate the risk of tooth extraction to avoid accidents and mental stress on both sides.
