To say that you can only die from not being able to breathe is just wrong. There is also sepsis. I had an abcess the size of a quarter. An oral surgeon was brought in to remove it, but immediately following I was sicker than Id ever been on my lifetime. Within weeks I began to develope terrible muscle, bone and vascular pain that slowly over the courae of the next few years took away my quality of life. After 2 years they were finally able to put a name on my 7 different conditions. Two of them muscle diseases, one vein condition, and several opportunistic infections that took hold as ny immunity was wiped out. Please tell the people the truth. Infrctions kill and/or change your life forever. Some peopleof I waswas told haveher to have opena heart surgery. I was blessedin and didntfollowed need it. Go to dentists for checkups. Oh I failed to mention. I will soon be using crutches as my cane no longer gives me enough support to walk. Avoid sepsis...dental checkups every 6months. Thanks.

I began to feel pressure in my gum, and didn't think much of it. Eventually the tooth adjacent to it began to hurt, so I went to have it checked out. I endend up requiring the original tooth to be extracted, and required work on the second. After the procedure and a cycle of antibiotics, I noticed a huge difference in my energy level, and overall well being. Apparently it takes a lot out of your body to fight infection. This alone is reason to get it looked after! I had a root canal and deep filling several years ago, and therefore had no feelings in my top rear molar.

He gave me RX for PCN VK 500 3x day. Last night I had sharp ear pain radiating down my jaw underneath my chin and down my neck. The dentist suggested a root canal. If I dont have any swelling, redness, or drainage around my teeth and I have deep fillings How does he know I need a root canal. I have already had a lot of dental work done. The pain is unrelieved by tylenol and IBU, What should I do? I have had deep white fillings in my lower Left jaw for about 2 years now, I went to the dentist yesterday for very bad pain in my jaw.

Woke up this morning face and neck swollen. She went to ER and they said the poison has spread thro her body. She's on IV now. Will this help the problem or will she need more then IV?

I am in the same boat as all of you. No insurance, no money, etc. I am 25 now and I have ANOTHER abscess tooth, this is the 2nd time it has ever gotten swollen the first time it was really concentrated and big you could definetly tell just by looking at me. This time its a little less noticable but I can feel it over a greater surface area. THANK GOD no pain (right now). I went last week to my county health clinic to get approved for local health care and dental care. It's free and/or reduced based on your income which mine is about zero at the moment. I am approved for a year. I am going tomorrow to one of the local clinics they gave me a number too to take care of this. I reccommend EVERYONE who has ANY teeth probelms to find these local programs sign up right away and get any and all work done. Try to keep your teeth if thats an option, if not get that shit pulled and plan on getting either dentures here in america or start saving a couple grand and get your teeth done in a foreign country, i have heard and have friends get their implants and vineers done in costa rice and domican republic. Good luck on your journey if you have a dental emergency and dont have time to sign up for a program hit the ER immediately and get some anti-biotics and prescription pain meds to take care of that deathly feeling pain.

My glands in my neck are swollen and my ear hurts but it's not unbearable. I had no idea how serious things could get. Now I'm freaking out about because I'm hearing you can DIE! Should I be worried or is it ok to wait til Monday to get it taken care of? I have had a problem with my wisdom teeth for years now but one has just recently become infected.
