Chapter 166:Extract a tooth
Chapter 166:Extract a tooth
Blunt-headed awl, tapping on the hollow fangs, each tap sending vibrations that struck straight into Monte's soul.
The exhilarating sensation pierced his soul, combined with the fear of his head being cracked open, causing his eyes to widen.
If it weren't for Charlotte's serious and focused expression, he would have bitten into his neck without hesitation.
Snap!
With a light crack, a piece of tooth fragment fell.
Monte's quick reflexes allowed him to catch it.
As he looked at it in his hand, it was half of a fang that had fallen out.
Charlotte put away the hammer and awl, satisfied as he looked at the enlarged cavity, the pulp cavity fully exposed. Inside, there was a void, and the pulp part was a dark brown, looking quite terrible.
"Phew..." Monte sighed, feeling even more drafts in his teeth, and anxiously exclaimed, "I asked you to fix my teeth, how did you end up knocking out my fangs?!"
He stared at Charlotte, intense murderous intent almost materializing, even his claws uncontrollably popped out.
"Your pulp is the problem. If I don't open it up, how can I treat you?" Charlotte calmly polished the wire, carving scratches on it to use as a makeshift probe to enlarge the pulp.
"You wouldn't want to have toothaches every day, not be able to sleep or even drink water without pain, right?"
Upon hearing this, Monte immediately became docile and even retracted his claws.
The days of toothaches, even when drinking water or inhaling air, were truly unbearable!
These past few days, even his favorite part of bloodsucking had become incredibly painful for him.
Although this doctor didn't look very reliable, compared to those old folks who only waved their magic wands and chanted spells, he seemed a bit more trustworthy.
"By the way, vampires sustain themselves by sucking blood, right? How come your teeth are so severely decayed? Do you like eating sweets?" Charlotte asked with some confusion.
"Cough... cough..." Monte coughed dryly twice, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"I have a sweet tooth and I enjoy sucking blood that has a sweeter taste."
"Oh, there's such a preference?" Charlotte showed a look of astonishment.
"And blood has a sweet taste too? It's not like juice, isn't taste just taste? Are you specifically choosing diabetics?"
This touched upon his area of ignorance.
After all, only vampires would have experience discussing such twisted matters as the taste of blood.
"Of course, different races, living in different regions, and feeding on different animals that consume different foods, all have different tastes of blood.
Even the biting sensation varies.
For example, goblins live underground all year round, their bite is soft and flabby, and their blood is bitter with a tang of rust.
It even makes one feel more refreshed after drinking it.
Living in the Forest of Elves, the blood of the elves is the most delicious. They drink dew water and eat fresh fruits every day.
Even their blood carries a fruity fragrance.
However, they dare not suck too much at once, only taking a shallow taste. If they bite someone to death, they will be hunted by the Forest of Elves.
The blood of the Merfolk carries a fishy smell. Last time, I caught a mermaid who dared to show herself. Her blood was too fishy, so I took a bite and threw her back into the sea." Monte spoke confidently, more like talking about tasting wine than talking about bloody feeding.
In his eyes, all races were like prey.
Charlotte wanted to mention that he also had a mermaid in the bathtub upstairs. It has probably been raised on land for a year, so the taste would be better.
However, the cause of tooth decay has been found.
Because the blood is too sweet, it leads to tooth decay. As a doctor, should he suggest Monte feed on something less sweet?
His makeshift iron wire tool was ready, and Charlotte was prepared to operate on the brownish dental pulp.
"What... What are you going to do?" Monte looked at the thin iron wire in Charlotte's hand and asked nervously.
"Don't worry, I will first use a thin probe to clean the dirt from your teeth, then I'll use this to clean the dental pulp.
This process may be a bit uncomfortable, but it's not a problem. With your strength, you can handle it." Charlotte said, already pulling open Monte's mouth and bringing the light closer.
Then, with a small pick, he carefully scraped off the rotten parts inside Monte's teeth.
Sizzle... Sizzle...
The sharp pick rubbed against the teeth, making a sour sound.
Forced to open his mouth wide, Monte's eyes widened instantly. His sharp claws gripped the edge of the operating table and left deep scratches on the hard stone.
That sour feeling hit his soul as if his very spirit was being opened up.
Before Monte could react, Charlotte poured cleansing solution into a bamboo tube and connected it to a small tube inserted into the cavity, flushing out the debris.
"Spit it out." Charlotte put down the bamboo tube and calmly said.
Monte turned his head and spat the cleansing solution from his mouth into a nearby tray. It was full of blackish-brown dirt.
"This... This is from my teeth?" Monte was greatly surprised. He had never expected that so much dirt would be hidden in his pearly white teeth.
"Yes, this is the real condition of your teeth." Charlotte nodded, cleaned his hands, and picked up a probe made of iron wire, smiling.
"Don't worry, we've just begun. Now let's proceed with root canal treatment."
At that moment, Charlotte's smile appeared terrifying like a devil in Monte's eyes.
But his teeth had already been messed up to this extent. It was too late to run away, so he could only resign himself to lying back on the operating table.
Charlotte's expression also became very serious. The previous tasks were not difficult.
Scraping the decay with bare hands was no problem for an intermediate knight, in terms of strength and accuracy.
But root canal treatment... He had only seen other vets do it on dogs; he had never done it himself.
