Pearl Algae (continued)

As for the rest, he didn't have any solutions for the time being.

Hmm, looks like I'll have to find a way to get some dental filling glue or something, so I can get my bad tooth fixed.

Jian Mo was working on the dentist's teeth, she wondered how she had become a dentist, even though she was supposed to be a general veterinarian.

Perhaps the beastmen are so physically strong that they rarely have problems, but their teeth are more prone to issues?

The people of the Jintuo Tribe watched the spectacle from afar.

Even though Jian Mo had transmigrated here, she still inevitably carried Earth's aesthetic habits. Her clothes were already quite different from those of people in this world, and now, with gloves and a mask on, her distinctive features were very obvious.

Everyone was curious about his appearance and his treatment methods.

When they saw him pull out the bad teeth one by one with Wu Jiong's help, and the black teeth covered in blood were placed in the ceramic plate, the people around forgot their curiosity and only felt a tightness in their backs and their teeth began to hurt.

The beastmen, still unconscious after their oral surgery, were carried back to their dens by the Jintuo Tribe after they had checked on them.

Jian Mo he should wake up in the afternoon, and then he would go over to check on him.

Tooth extraction is not a difficult thing; the world lacks medical resources and there are no special treatment methods.

After the tooth was extracted, Jian Mo saw that there were so many people around, so instead of letting them leave, she explained to them why the tooth had decayed.

In particular, the downsides of not brushing your teeth are that food residue nourishes oral bacteria, which in turn cause significant damage to your teeth.

After listening, Jin Shi said, "Our teeth weren't so bad before, but after we got the Pearl Algae, everyone's teeth started to deteriorate."

Jian Mo asked in bewilderment, "What kind of Pearl Algae?"

Jin Shi said, "It's a type of aquatic algae found in the river. It tastes quite good; we'll grow it to eat."

Guessing that the people of the Riverside Tribe had never seen this kind of algae before, Jin Shi sent someone to fetch some for them to see.

This is a pale yellow algae with very thick leaves, almost ellipsoidal in shape.

Jian Mo took it in her hand and examined it carefully.

Jin Shi gestured to him that this algae could be eaten directly.

Jian Mo tentatively plucked a leaf and put it in her mouth.

The leaves of the Pearl Algae are soft, and when you bite into them, they have a popping sensation, followed by a subtle sweetness—it's actually quite delicious.

Jian Mo looked up in surprise. "The Pearl Algae tastes so good."

Jin Shi: "Yes, people can't resist pulling them out and eating them, and as they keep doing that, their teeth get really badly damaged."

Jian Mo held the Pearl Algae in her hand, examining it from all angles, and asked, "Could we exchange some Pearl Algae for our tribe?"

"Of course," Jin Shi readily agreed. "This was given to our tribe by another tribe, but it can only grow in warmer places. It's cold where you are, so I don't know if it can grow there."

Jian Mo: "It's okay, let's take it back and try it."

Jin Shi: "Then I'll prepare a basket for you later."

With that, Jin Shi sighed, "Take these back with you. If you can grow them, be careful not to eat too many, or your teeth will rot."

Jian Mo nodded. This stuff really shouldn't be eaten in excess, otherwise it's no different from eating too much candy.

Etc--

Jian Mo suddenly realized that if even adults couldn't resist eating so much Pearl Algae, what about the children?

They couldn't resist even more, could they?

Jian Mo said to Jin Shi, "How are the children's teeth? I'd like to take a look."

"Children—" Jin Shi suddenly realized, "They will lose their baby teeth, and although their teeth may be bad, it won't be as bad as adults'."

Jian Mo sighed, "But there are always kids whose teeth are still pretty bad even after they've all fallen out. And if you don't treat the teeth, the bad teeth can spread, and they'll rot one after another."

Jin Shi had nothing more to say, so he immediately ordered his men to call the children over for a dental checkup.

Jian Mo examined the children and found that their teeth were indeed more severely decayed, possibly because children's mouths are more fragile, or perhaps because they have less self-control.

He treated all the children's rotten teeth and reminded the families to remember to brush their teeth properly, especially to avoid eating sweets before bed, otherwise they wouldn't be able to replace their teeth once they decayed.

The adults all agreed with serious expressions.

Jian Mo helped look at teeth for a day. When he first arrived yesterday, the people of the Jintuo Tribe still described him as a handsome sub-beastman. Today, however, they described him as Doctor Jian Mo, who was a sight to behold.

The way people looked at him changed.

Jian Mo was already used to this feeling and didn't pay any attention to it.

Although the people of the Jintuo Tribe are still somewhat afraid of him, after his treatment, the psychological distance between them has become much closer.

On the third day, after the two tribes exchanged pottery, glass, and metal utensils, Jin Shi, knowing that Jian Mo needed metal medical instruments, readily agreed, "Doctor Jian Mo, come back in a while, and we'll make the tools you need for you."

Jian Mo was delighted; metal utensils were far more convenient than wooden ones. "Thank you so much!"

Jin Shi: "You're welcome. Who knows, I might need your dentist again someday, haha. If these instruments end up being used on us again, it's like we're doing ourselves a favor in advance."

Jian Mo sincerely said, "You guys should brush your teeth properly; I hope your teeth won't get worse."

Jin Shi: "We'll try our best, but the orcs in our tribe have never had very good teeth."

Jian Mo insisted, "Brush your teeth properly, and things will improve."

He became particularly insistent when it came to medicine, and Jin Tuo, a little afraid of him in this state, quickly agreed, "Okay. Or, Doctor Jian Mo, could you leave the medical equipment here, and we can follow your instructions?"

Wooden utensils are so easily worn out and rotten.

The tools that Jian Mo brought were almost completely broken, so taking them back would be useless. It was perfectly fine to leave them for the Jintuo Tribe to use as a reference.
