Death by Tooth Decay
This might sound like a crazy joke but sadly the truth is that it can happen and it has to many people resulting in deaths due to a simple tooth infection that was left without treatment. The jaw is rich in nerves and blood vessels that any infection/s can easily pass throught the rest of the body throught he blood stream. Most bacterial infections that get through can result in fatal consequences that if not treated early. Blood clots from such infections can also travel through the blood stream to the heart or brain causing irreversible damage that can cause more health problems as time progresses. A blood clot forming as a result of the foreign body results in a heart attack or a stroke so do get to visit your dentist at least a few times a year.
