I hear ya
I'll just say this..
...A lot of things can kill you if you let a tooth rot...infection.. fever sets in...remember teeth and heart are closely connected..and dont forget how close to your brain your teeth are my friend.
We lost our father inlaw they say to covid...but he also had a rotten tooth that had made him sick just before and before being admitted had just received chemo for colon cancer a week earlier
...and well... the perfect storm is what a lot of this is/was for many. Sad.
