The immune system can usually cope with infected teeth just fine, despite the scare stories you hear. Dying from a tooth infection rare, usually other complications ensue. Not unheard of but uncommon. It's called Sepsis when the infection goes into the blood. Look at it this way, all those homeless people running around with rotten and infected teeth and they're still okay. I mean, of course you need to go asap due to pain, but people have infections when they cannot get to a dentist and they get by for awhile. Just don't scare yourself unnecessarily.

In contrast, Lord of Alcohol is in real trouble with that finger of his.
