Nice graph. I wonder what other stats we can pull up on a country's 12 year olds and then equate to the entire population.

I took care of a guy who severely cut his own throat and slashed his wrists, almost killing himself in the process. He says he had been hearing voices to kill himself for days. His WBC count was off the chart because his teeth were about to rot out his head. Evidently, markedly elevated WBC count can cause psychotic symptoms (his UDS was negative and family corroborated his drug and alcohol history). Moral of the story: get your teeth fixed ASAP.

Moral of the story: rotten teeth are nature's free hallucinogenics. I say don't do anything but enjoy your free trips.
Until the brain infection kills you that is.
Which will probably be soon.
Hopefully.
My wife is a hygienist and before that a dental assistant. There is a danger of infection spreading to the brain. Take antibiotics, but it will only be a temporary fix. It could be that the decay has reached the pulp and the nerve is infected or it is a periodontal infection(gums). Either way you run a risk of destroying the bone around your good molar(2nd molar). Infections can destroy good bone very quickely and we need bone to keep teeth in place!! It is never good to wait because dental problems can become a lot worse and cause problems for teeth surrounding the bad tooth and almost always results in higher dental costs. Try and have the tooth extracted ASAP. You don't have to have them removed togeather, although it would be better if you could.

He can't afford to have it removed. That's fine though. It's not your's, mine, or society's job to take up the cost of his health care. If he can't afford it, he'll just have to go die in the street with all the other poor people.

Sorry but garlic won't cure your tooth, and to Oneofone, I hope you are being sarcastic, if not STUFU. Go read Ayn Rand and spread your poison elsewhere.,,
If your gums are swollen like that then you are probably going to need a root canal or at the most extreme an apicoectomy. Some dentists/endodontists have payment plans so it is worth checking around to see if the dentists in your area offer that. You will have to pony up a down payment though.

Garlic WILL cure your tooth. Again, don't listen to these retards. You don't need to get any teeth pulled. I had an infection in my wisdom tooth as well. Most painful thing I've ever experienced in my life. I did exactly what I said to do and never had a problem since. Cured for pennies.

garlic has only like 1/100th the strength of basic penicillin, i mean it has some anti-bacterial properties but they are really weak compared to modern antibiotics.
And i dont think even penicillin would help you because you are probably developing an abscess. basically Lumie condemning you to death.
This is like when Steve Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and he decided to try a fruit juice diet for 2 years to heal it.

Hmmm Lumie might be onto something here, there are quite a few articles that can be found saying garlic does help with tooth infections

Oh yeah, abunch of pseudoscience bullshit sites agree with Lumie, how shocking! Where do you think he got his stupid idea from?
Also, fuck yes there is harm in trying it. You are trying that bullshit instead of actual treatment. Ask Steve Jobs what the harm was in trying his "alternative" cure for cancer.

At the very least take Pen to kill the infection but it will come back unless the cause of the infection is addressed. It is never good to have chronic infection and inflammation. In fact chronic inflammation signals the body to send anti inflammatory cells that can actually destroy good healthy tissue more. Kind of like an autoimmune disease in which the bodies own defenses can cause damage.

Garlic is actually stronger than penicillin and unlike it, it doesn't kill good bacteria and cause side effects like penicillin. Not to mention it costs pennies and doesn't require a doctor visit or a prescription. As for Steve Jobs, I doubt he actually tried natural cures because if he did, he'd still be alive. I cured my own cancer np with it just like I cured my abscess with garlic.
Like Grimson said though, you need to address the cause of the infection itself. Garlic alone won't cure you but it will kill the infection you have right now. That's why I said you need to brush vigorously to the point of bleeding and make sure you get all food that might be caught anywhere in your mouth. To do this you will probably need to floss as well.
