Chinese Man Undergoes Extensive Dental Surgery, Dies of Heart Attack Two Weeks Later
In a case that has raised serious concerns about the safety of dental procedures in China, a man surnamed Huang underwent an extensive dental treatment at Yongkang Deway Dental Hospital in Jinhua, Zhejiang province, on August 14. During the procedure, 23 teeth were extracted, and 12 implants were inserted in a single day using the "immediate restoration" method. Unfortunately, two weeks after the surgery, Huang suffered a sudden heart attack and passed away on August 28. The incident came to public attention through an online post by his daughter, Shu, on September 2.
According to Shu, her father had been experiencing severe pain following the dental procedure. "I never thought my dad would pass so quickly," she said. "He didn't even get the chance to drive the new car we bought for him."
On September 3, an official from the Yongkang Municipal Health Bureau commented that the cause of death remains under investigation, especially considering the 13-day period between the dental procedure and Huang's death.
A few days later, a representative from the clinic told the South China Morning Post that the case had been handed over to their legal team and that no further comments would be made until the investigation is complete. "We will release a statement if there are any updates," the representative stated.
Xiang Guolin, director of the Dental Medicine Centre at the Hospital of Universal Love in Wuhan, noted that there are no formal guidelines regarding the maximum number of teeth that can be extracted in a single session. However, in common practice, dentists typically avoid extracting more than 10 teeth at once. "Extracting 23 teeth is quite extreme," Xiang said. "Such a procedure requires a highly qualified clinic and dentist, as well as a thorough consideration of the patient's physical ability to endure such extensive treatment."
The case has sparked outrage on social media, with many users questioning the wisdom of extracting so many teeth in one sitting. One user expressed shock, recounting how their own dentist had refused to extract two wisdom teeth simultaneously. Another user, who identified themselves as a dentist, commented, "I never extract more than three teeth at one time unless they're very loose. This seems more like a human experiment than a dental procedure."
