A Hospital in Another World?-Chapter 563: The Unusual Tooth Extraction Method of the Religion of Nature

"Come, take a good look—over here on the right side, this one lying sideways is the wisdom tooth. It’s grown like this, already pressing against the tooth in front of it, it definitely needs to be extracted..."

Garrett stood sideways in front of Viscount Levi. Right in front of the viscount were five priests lined up.

Each one stared intently at Viscount Levi’s lower jaw, observing fiercely.

There were priests from the Temple of the God of War, from the Religion of Nature, and from the Spring Water Temple; some were on regular medical duty, others had rushed over upon hearing the news...

"Hey, why do so many people need to watch me..." Viscount Levi protested quietly. It was one thing for Elder Elwin to have looked, and another for the bald bishop, but to have so many more crowd around!

Each one had to stand in place, cast a spell, and look through their meditative vision!

What did they think he was?

A monkey performing tricks?

Even though these priests, in terms of social status, were no lower than him, one or two having a look was enough, but five taking turns...

His face was about to freeze...

"Oh dear, it’s almost over, just a little longer~~~"

Garrett’s face wore a smile, an easygoing demeanor, yet he showed no signs of backing down.

Far from it, he even waved at the priests behind him and then turned to persuade Viscount Levi:

"Let them have a look! I can’t stay here for long, and if you, or your relatives and friends, have a toothache, someone needs to be able to treat it, right?"

It’s like a teaching hospital, what’s wrong with having five students look at a case? If young doctors don’t see cases, how will they grow?

Of course, teaching diagnoses and such must also have the patient’s consent. This is medical ethics that must not be violated!

So, he coaxed, smiling and persuading, especially since Viscount Levi had agreed before, never hit a man who’s smiling...

After the five priests had each taken a look, they understood the method of diagnosis using X-rays... ah no, 【Detection Magic】. Garrett then promptly moved to the next step:

"Everyone clear? Next, let’s discuss how to extract the tooth! Ah, Viscount Levi, rest assured, the extraction will be painless due to divine magic!"

He quickly reassured him, then turned to the priests. The priests who had come to see the patient were all older and more experienced than him, and they had plenty of suggestions on how to proceed with the extraction:

"Just cut it open, pull it out with pliers, then apply a healing spell, that’s all!"

"Since there’s divine magic for pain relief! Just cut it open, then use a chisel!"

"Find a skilled warrior to knock that tooth out..."

Viscount Levi listened until he was pale. Although divine magic ensured it wouldn’t hurt, it was his tooth after all!

Could they not talk about it so excitedly?

"Cut it open, then use Mage Hand to pull it out!"

Elder Elwin also made a suggestion. Garrett shook his head slightly:

"The strength of a powerful Mage Hand is only 40 pounds, two together only 80 pounds, probably not enough..."

"Then, shall I try?"

Suddenly, a head popped up from the side. Miss Silver Dragon had appeared at some point, her right hand shaped like a claw, making a "pinch and pull out" gesture. Garrett jumped:

"You? No!"

Such a small tooth, the area you can pinch and apply force is only a few millimeters, how can your hand grasp it?

"Hehe..."

Seraina flashed him a brilliant smile. Her right hand waved in front of Garrett, her fingers curled, and her fingernails suddenly shot out two centimeters:

Thin, sharp, glistening with cold light. Facing Garrett’s gaze, it even slightly bent, as if saying: Look, I can turn into a knife, or into pliers or chisels~~~

"Miss, don’t think about this anymore..."

Garrett pushed her back with a sweaty forehead.

The sharpness of dragon claws indeed exceeds that of ordinary blades; however, using it transformed as pliers to delve into bone and extract a tooth, who knows if it’s strong enough laterally?

Last time, how long did it hurt when a dagger got stuck between your fingernails? What if your nail flips out this time?

Using a hammer, chisel, or pliers is not impossible, just hard to control. Around the wisdom tooth, nerves, blood vessels, glands, they’re all densely packed. Using a hammer and hitting slightly off could easily cause damage...

After all, he’s not a professional oral surgeon, lacking precision in hand. Garrett still hoped that the extraction process could cause

as little damage as possible.

"Forget it, I’ll do it myself." Garrett made up his mind, dragging Viscount Levi into the operating room. A surgical drape laid out, an overhead light turned on, 【Alleviate Pain·Modified】 slapped on—

"Open your mouth!"

Armed with 【Powerful Magic-Enhanced Weapon】, a mithril-infused scalpel, its sharpness was not to be underestimated. Even with Garrett’s strength, he easily cut open the gum, simultaneously performing divine blood-stopping, slicing open the periosteum flap, again stopping the blood...

Meanwhile, a vine crept along the corner of the mouth, directly probing into the tooth socket.

"Make a little whirlwind! Negative pressure suction!"

"Here it comes—"

Miss Silver Dragon happily took over. Ah, negative pressure suction, an indispensable part of oral surgery, because you can’t swallow while working, nor block the salivary glands, right?

"Next, we’ll cut off part of the alveolar bone to expose the buried wisdom tooth. Generally, the lingual alveolar bone is thinner than the buccal alveolar bone, so we always cut from the lingual side..."

Garrett explained as he operated. Fortunately, the alveolar bone is generally relatively loose, the scalpel continued to perform well, the effects of 【Powerful Magic-Enhanced Weapon】 were exceptional. Once the wisdom tooth was exposed, Garrett steadied his breath, and reached for a...

Seed.

Yes, a seed.

According to common oral surgery practice, at this point one should split the crown, using a chisel—or a high-speed turbine dental drill—to split the crown into several pieces for easier extraction.

The problem is, with a chisel, Garrett didn’t have a sense of it; a high-speed turbine dental drill? Joking, the speed of that thing is 400,000 revolutions per minute!

What magic, what divine arts, could deliver such power and precisely control the impact on the tooth crown without harming other tissues?

Garrett certainly didn’t have the skill himself. After some thought and consulting with Elder Elwin, he decided to try a different approach:

With vines.

Extremely thin, finer than a strand of hair, the vine clung to the gap between the wisdom tooth and the alveolar bone, drilling down. Reaching the bottom, it turned around, headed up, and vigorously grew—

Absorbing the divine energy from Garrett’s hand, absorbing the saliva and a little blood from the patient’s mouth, grow! Grow!

Striving to reach upwards!

Pushing through the soil, pushing through the crevices, pushing through—

The tooth above!

The fine, flexible, tenacious vines, woven into a dense web, creaking and creaking, finally pushed the wisdom tooth out of the socket!
