开始进入同疾病做斗争的阶段了
我这人生来就体弱，多病谈不上，但时常会闹些小病痛啥的。昨天终于把那个经过治疗，长了洞的牙给带上了正式的牙套，花了钱的牙套感觉就是好，比那临时的强多了。不知怎么回事，带个正式的牙套会把牙整的那么的疼，回家后不得不吃止疼药，是非处方的，医生没给开止疼药哈，也许是忘了，也许觉得那种疼忍忍就过了，可是，我感觉不止是那颗牙疼，半边脸都跟着疼。现在真是的，忍耐力是越来越差了，触动一个部位，就能引起周边的反应，身体是越来越敏感，脑子是反应越来越慢。
看个病，真是头疼医头，脚疼医脚，按下了葫芦，又起了瓢，有颗牙又出问题了。年轻的时候遇到过牙不好的人，她们告诉我都是属于身体比较弱的，身体出现状况，都是从牙开始，也就是说，身体不好，牙也会不好。这种说法的准确性我没考证过，不过仔细想来有些道理，牙是身体的一部分，身体羸弱多病的人，各个器官都不强壮，在牙上一定能反应出来。
用了几十年的牙，再怎么保护，都会出现问题，需要维修，这是人之常理，就是去牙医诊所让人有些头疼，先不说遇到个技术好，又良心好的牙医实在不容易，就说那治疗过程，就让人有些胆战心惊了。
昨天医生发现问题后，很耐心地给我讲解了一番，我们还一起讨论了牙的治疗方法，就是需要deep cleaning, 也就是说往这颗牙附近打药，杀菌。我回家后又上网查了查，有文化真好啊，最起码对自己的病情有了些了解，生病虽不是件好事，但生病能使我长知识，这么一想，就不会抱怨为何老天爷让我生病了。这颗牙吃东东的时候感觉有些疼，是在今年初或是去年底开始的，疼的感觉是从不频繁到频繁，可是在今年初的X光照片中，没有反映出啥问题来。我在上个月底补牙洞时，还以为是补这颗牙，其实不是，是邻边的一颗，这都怪我没搞清楚，看东东不仔细。这次去装牙套，让医生给检查了一下，才知道是得了牙周病。这个病大致情况是这样，由于细菌的侵蚀，会对骨头和牙龈组织造成损坏，从而在牙齿周围形成“口袋”状的空隙，天长日久，如果不治疗的话，空隙会越来越深，细菌就会滋生越多，因此对牙齿造成更严重的损害，最终导致病人失去这颗牙齿。见下图，牙周病图片来自网络：

下面的文章来自网络，是对这种牙病的解释：
PERIODONTAL POCKET REDUCTION PROCEDURES
Your bone and gum tissue should fit snugly around your teeth like a turtleneck around your neck. When you have periodontal disease, this supporting tissue and bone is destroyed, forming "pockets" around the teeth.
Over time, these pockets become deeper, providing a larger space for bacteria to live. As bacteria develop around the teeth, they can accumulate and advance under the gum tissue. These deep pockets collect even more bacteria, resulting in further bone and tissue loss. Eventually, if too much bone is lost, the teeth will need to be extracted.
Your periodontist has measured the depth of your pocket(s). A periodontal pocket reduction procedure has been recommended because you have pockets that are too deep to clean with daily at-home oral hygiene and a professional care routine.
During this procedure, your periodontist folds back the gum tissue and removes the disease-causing bacteria before securing the tissue into place. In some cases, irregular surfaces of the damaged bone are smoothed to limit areas where disease-causing bacteria can hide. This allows the gum tissue to better reattach to healthy bone.
Reducing pocket depth and eliminating existing bacteria are important to prevent damage caused by the progression of periodontal disease and to help you maintain a healthy smile. Eliminating bacteria alone may not be sufficient to prevent disease recurrence. Deeper pockets are more difficult for you and your dental care professional to clean, so it's important for you to reduce them. Reduced pockets and a combination of daily oral hygiene and professional maintenance care increase your chances of keeping your natural teeth – and decrease the chance of serious health problems associated with periodontal disease.
希望上面的文章对跟我有同样问题的人有所帮助，牙周病会导致心脏病等疾病，是要重视起来的。另外，我看英文文章是为了更好地与医生沟通，因为我这里基本上都是老美牙医。
