An Infected Tooth in Lincoln Could Cause Serious Issues!

Besides being extremely painful, abscessed (infected) teeth can be deadly! Vadim Kondratyuk, a young 26-year-old truck driver and father of two girls, began complaining about a tooth ache that ended up taking his life within just six days. After feeling severe pain on the side of his mouth, he sought out medical attention and learned that his infected tooth had not only affected his smile but his general health. He was diagnosed with diabetes and the infection from his tooth spread to his blood and lungs, causing Vadim to pass away just a few days later.
