Dental pain can cause death!!

  

   Hey guys, sorry for late posting!! Today i found news which is probably make you surprise!! 

  Kyle Willis, a man aged 24 years old from Ohio, USA, died because of tooth infection. According to the TV station WLWT, Kyle teeth started to hurt two weeks earlier, and the dentists recommend to be revoked. But, Kyle is a single father with no health insurance (in the U.S. is difficult and expensive to perform some medical procedures without insurance).

   The pain later spread to the head and swelling in the face, which made ​​him decide to go to the emergency room. There, doctors recommend Kyle to fill a prescription antibiotic and pain killer, but he was only able to pay only one type of drug, which is the painkillers. The pain is gone, but the infection continues to spread - and eventually attacks the brain and cause Kyle brain swelling.


   Dr. Irvin Silverstein, a dentist from the University of California says that what happened to Kyle is not uncommon. "People rarely realize that dental disease can cause more serious illness. The problem is not only in appearance. Many people who eventually die of dental disease. And ironically, dental disease is the most curable even avoided. "
