Shi Fang, a medical team member from Zhejiang Province, suffered from acute pulpitis and had toothache for more than 5 days. On February 23, she successfully completed root canal treatment at the Stomatological Hospital of Wuhan University and relieved her pain.

Shi Fang is a nurse at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. On February 14, she accompanied the medical team of the Second Hospital of Zhejiang University to Wuhan to support the treatment of patients with new coronavirus pneumonia in the ICU ward of the Cancer Center of Union Hospital.

"The toothache was so bad that I wanted to remove it in the past 5 days. At first, I thought it was gingivitis. I simply treated the inflammation, but it didn't work." Shi Fang said, after contacting the director of the Department of Stomatology, the doctor told her that it was pulpitis, and the problem required root canal treatment. The Second Hospital of Zhejiang University immediately contacted WU Stomatological Hospital for her.

The leader of the Wuhan University Stomatological Hospital attached great importance to Shi Fang after considering the situation, and comprehensively considered all factors of oral diagnosis and treatment during the epidemic period, and decided to help her.

On February 23, Shi Fang came to the hospital, where Professor Song Yaling and Head Nurse Li Shaolan completed the root canal treatment for her in an isolation clinic and waived her treatment costs.

"Now I feel that my teeth are not so painful. I cannot breathe while wearing protective clothing and having toothache at work, but I don't want to drag everyone behind because of my toothache." Shi Fang said, thanking the doctor for her treatment. After completing the treatment, she rushed back to the front line.

It is understood that Wuhan University Stomatological Hospital has sent a medical team to support the Provincial Party School's party cabin hospital to participate in the treatment of patients with new coronavirus pneumonia.

In addition, the hospital expressed its willingness to provide oral health services to the medical teams assisting in Wuhan to ensure their oral health and work together to win the battle against new coronavirus pneumonia.
