Three incidences* of an abscessed tooth, it is so painful that all I could do was hold my head and rock back and forth, I can see where it is one of the most painful ways to go. I can't imagine what that poor man went through before he passed.

These fuckers need to pay for this evil like the nazis did.



*I was homeless at the time and was, at least, able to get antibiotics. I was not able to get the dental correction I needed because I need to be sedated and there were no dentists in my state who used the kind of anesthesia that I can have. Eventually, after over a year and half, I inherited some money and was able to go to my former dentist in another state who uses an anesthesia that I can have, to have the root canal under a crown that was required to remedy the problem.
