Recently, just after watching the movie, Ms. Wang hurriedly hid her face and rushed to the emergency department of the City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

There was a news item in Xiamen that caused heated discussion: a 26-year-old young woman suffered from severe periodontitis, “lost” 11 teeth and needed 10 implants.
