Progress of the infection??

Lets see, painful tooth, tooth needs dental work, dentist says infection must be resolved before working on tooth, take antibiotics, come back in 5 days. CHECK.

Lets see, someone has a sore tooth, goes to sleep awakes in agony with a softball where their cheek used to be, goes to dentist and dentist says? need for infection to be resolved before I can fix tooth, take antibiotics, come back in 5 days. CHECK

Lets see, someone gets a sore tooth, pretty much stays the same for a few days no biggie, they go out in the sunshine, gotta boost Vit D levels! Wake up day 4 pain much worse, pain in chest, but they worried about gut bacteria, go out in sun again, cause more vit d and all. After not returning home a family member finds them near unconscious, drooling on themselves, febrile, with their tongue swollen to the point that it wont fit in their mouth anymore. They are struggling to breath. hmm 911!! Ambulance comes and driver in shock how big tongue can get! rush to hospital as EMT wont even attempt THAT intubation in the field! Upon arrival to Emergency Room ER doctor says Holy Fuck get Anesthesia down here to help secure this airway, patients gonna code!!!

Anesthesiologist drops their coffee and runs to see what all the commotion is. upon arrival anesthesiologist says where is the surgeon? ER doc asks why? Anethesiologist explains that when the two of them fail to secure this struggling patients airway who is gonna emergently cut the neck open for a breathing tube??? So, in this example the ER doc and the Anesthesiologist bungle the airway, nobody can seem to find a surgeon, both MD's present never actually cut a neck before, but they try cause the patients heart rates dropping from lack of oxygen. Luckily for the patient an ENT surgeon walking by unexpectedly saves the day by intervening with a trach. What a fucking horrible drama that could have be stopped with SIMPLE ANTIBIOTICS!!!!

Oh, supposedly the ENT surgeon did not arrive fast enough because the patient had residual brain damage from lack of oxygen after awakening.

But of course the Gastroenterologist was HAPPY THAT THE FUCKIN GUT BACTERIA WERE NOT EVEN SCRATCHED!!

These kind of medical dramas do occur, the above was just made up

All the horrific suffering from completely treatable causes, so easy with antibiotics.

I get that a little self limiting tooth pain that resolve after a day without antibiotics is great!

But thats not what hospital staff see. So much sensless suffering from something so easy to treat.

Like I said earlier, antibiotics for dental infections should be over the counter like in many countries. so much unneeded suffering and injury just because of needing a script.

oh, and dont forget your probiotics
