Wizardhawk's memorial thread (a cautionary tale of dental care and garlic)

Could always see if there's a dental school or free dental clinic around and get it done that way. Don't fuck around with this it can lead to much bigger problems.

There's got to be a meth joke in there somewhere

Have you tried gargling with peroxide?

You are going to die.

A brain infection can occur when bacteria from other infections in the body (for example and abscessed tooth) travels through the blood stream and into the brain. The result is severe infection and if left untreated, possibly death. That is the sobering message a 12-year-old Maryland boy left when his dental problems went untreated. He succumbed to a severe brain infection. Deamonte Driver's life could have been spared if his infected tooth was simply removed - a procedure costing just $80.

However, the Driver family faced obstacles with Medicaid, poverty, and access to resources, resulting in an easily preventable health problem turning deadly. In the end, Driver endured two surgeries and weeks of hospital care totaling about $250,000 in medical bills. Sadly, it was too late to save the boy, and he passed away on Feb. 25.

Wow, seriously?

That is some scary shit

Too bad you're living in a third world country

Medical insurance might cover something like that.

Move to a country with better dental care.

Get a loan to fix your fucking teeth. Return the PS4 or Xbone and take care of yourself. Health should be the #1 absolute main priority for your spending.

I haven't been to a dentist in 12 years and I have pretty damn good teeth. I do have cavities in my wisdom teeth but you don't need to go to a dentist to fix them nor do you need a root canal. What you need to do is first of all, do a salt water mouth rinse then you take a clove of garlic and chop it into small pieces. Then you take the garlic and rub it around the area of the infection(do this a few times). Garlic has extremely potent antibacterial properties and will 100% guaranteed kill any infection that exists and it also acts as a mild pain killer so it will relieve pain as well. Then after this you need to brush your teeth pretty vigorously to the point where your gums will probably bleed. The only reason you're getting an infection is because of food not being properly cleaned out and it's decaying in your mouth and causing bacteria to grow which is causing the infection. Brush after meals and sugary drinks and avoid sugary drinks as much as possible.
